Juan Sarmiento has accepted a new call

Dear Friends,

If I need to choose a word to define my relationship with The Outreach Foundation, it would be "gratitude." These almost four years have been a marvelous privilege. I have treasured this time of impactful ministry with our team, trustees, constituents, and partners.

After a prayerful discernment process, I have accepted another call. A very compelling reason behind my decision is an increased desire to dedicate my attention to supporting the church in the United States as it faces significant challenges.

As I finalize my responsibilities as Associate Director for Mission to transition into a new ministry call, I celebrate our team's effective work at transforming lives through mission involvement. We have seen many parts of the Body of Christ partnering in a broad variety of ways as, together, we invite others to a transforming faith in him.

I am immensely appreciative of the great colleagues, friends, and servants of the Gospel that make Outreach such a great organization. With its very competent leadership and the commitment of churches and individuals who love God's work in the world, Outreach will continue to grow as an invaluable resource to our Presbyterian family in mission.

I look forward to building on these rich experiences and finding ways of future collaboration for the glory of God.

Thank you so much for the opportunity and pleasure of serving with you all.

Most sincerely,

Rev. Juan J. Sarmiento
