Global Missions

GLOBAL PARTNERS serves more than 90 countries with 230 missionaries. The mission to exalt Jesus Christ by calling and mobilizing believers to global ministries of evangelism, church planting, leadership development and ministries of compassion is strong.

The Northeast District has a history of engagement with Global Partners through local church and individual support of missionaries and projects and through short-term mission teams on the fields. Through the years folks from the Northeast District have also served as full-time missionaries.

Since the devastating earthquake in 2010 District engagement with Haiti has been especially significant since the District includes many who have immigrated from there and who still have many family members living there.

Rod and Nancy Zottarelli are part-time missionaries with Global Partners, providing care for missionaries serving around the world. Rod is the Clinical Care Specialist, providing assessment, acute care and triaging for missionaries. Nancy coaches and consults with missionary women. Rod is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and is ABD with a doctorate in clinical psychology. Nancy has a certificate in Christian Counseling from the American Association of Christian Counselors. They have served in Indonesia with Mission Aviation Fellowship, and as pastoral staff in Pennsylvania.

Rod and Nancy care for those going through transitions and traumas. They take time to visit missionaries on the field to ensure they are cared for, encouraged, and equipped to navigate obstacles and opportunities.

Rod and Nancy have three grown children, a bonus son, and eight adorable grandchildren.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God (2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NIV).

Tim and Hannah Klopfenstein, along with their four children, Eliel, Asa, Hadassah, and Eden, are a church planting and disciple-making family, with a passion for the unreached within secular culture. The Klopfensteins are being launched as pioneers to begin a new work in France, a new mission field for the Wesleyan Church. Many are surprised to hear that there are approximately 36 million people in France who have yet to hear the Gospel, and the evangelical population is less than 2%. As disciple-makers in France, we envision holistically transformed lives, as people enter relationship with Jesus and are called on mission. Through radical hospitality, service, strategic partnerships, and leadership development, we desire to build authentic and multiplying Christ-centered communities. “Wake up and look around. The fields are already ripe for harvest...and the fruit they harvest is people brought to eternal life.” -John 4:35b-36

Luke and Eugene Lee Park (faces are blurred for protection): We would like to share the exciting news that our family is moving forward to plant the Gospel in one of the Turkic-Arabic countries with a population of over 32 million people, where only 0.1% are Christians. This is a region where spreading the Gospel will require significant effort and time. There, we will strive for more sustainable disciple-making by employing appropriate strategies and drawing on the resilience and grace we gained from
our previous church planting journey.
Our vision is to disciple Muslims throughout the city we serve, empowering them to disciple others and share the Gospel more courageously and safely. Through this journey, we aim for the love of Christ to deeply penetrate their lives, mirroring Christ's incarnation.
We would love to get in touch to see if you'd be interested in partnering with us in this journey, both financially and through prayer.
