Who We Are

Leslie has been involved in Christian missions since 2007 when she first traveled to South Africa on a mission trip with her church. Now with 18 years of experience, she has focused on working cross-culturally on community development and disaster relief projects, taking her all across the globe. She sees missions as an opportunity to collaborate with local communities so that they can serve their communities while sharing the gospel. She has worked with local, grassroots organizations on missions and development projects in Latin America and Africa, as well on disaster relief projects with international NGOs and non-profits in the Caribbean, South America, Asia, Europe, and the US. Leslie has a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and a Master of Arts in International Community Development.

Douglas took an interest in missions after marrying Leslie and joining her on the field to see what missions really looks like up close. He fell in love with the people he served and with the heart of God for caring for people across the globe. Starting out on short-term trips in Central America, Douglas branched out to Africa as well, and has even participated in disaster response himself in Romania and Ukraine. Now with a decade of experience, Douglas is passionate about helping people with their greatest needs, as well as helping people develop financial stability in some of the poorest parts of the globe. Douglas also enjoys many speaking engagements across the US as he shares about Fulcrum Missions and about stewardship of our time and resources to God.
