Robby & Jackie Butler

Starting in 1980, I served 24 years with the U.S. Center for World Mission—the "missions pentagon" which introduced and popularized the concept of "unreached peoples."

During that time I served first in the Information Technology department (primarily as director), later adding the role of assistant to the founder, Ralph Winter, and from 1996 adding the role of personnel director.

Meanwhile Jackie joined me in 1993, and God gave us three wonderful children—Joelle, Dana and Wesley.

In my last position at the USCWM, I became acutely aware of the many obstacles most people encounter as they seek to join God in his global purpose.

In 2004, God called us to start Mission Network—a new ministry focused on identifying and addressing major obstacles to the effective deployment of prayer, manpower, and other resources for the global advance of God's kingdom.

We invite you to join us, first in begging the Lord of the Harvest to thrust out laborers into His harvest fields, then in fulfilling whatever role He calls you to play in advancing His global kingdom.
