Darcy & Leanne McAlister

LOCATION: Worldwide

TRANSFORMATIONAL IMPACT: Our passion is to encourage churches and individuals to engage in God's great mission. We are dedicated to discipling and developing healthy leaders, both in Canada and around the world, as they take their place in God's mission. 

MINISTRY FOCUS: Churches and leaders in Canada and around the world are seeking support as they navigate the challenges of a volatile world, impacting both their personal lives and their ministry work. A key question they face is how to respond to God’s call and mission in the midst of adversity and shifting cultural landscapes. 

We focus on 4 main things:

1. Leanne leads ZOE Network. Through a biblical discipleship program and the power of Holy Spirit, we empower and activate women and men into the life God invites them to. Through ZOE partnerships with other Mission Global workers, we work to support and empower vulnerable women around the globe..
2. Darcy serves as the Development and Communications Director for Mission Global. In this role our focus is to connect the Canadian church to God’s mission globally – particularly through Mission Global.
3. Together, we teach on marriage globally through courses, seminars, and prayer ministry.
4. Additionally, we both coach and mentor young leaders to live Spirit-filled, fruitful lives

YOUR IMPACT: You can invest in ministry leaders both nationally and internationally, helping them live and lead from a place of health as they step into their place in God’s mission.  

MINISTRY HISTORY: We said "yes" to missions in 1990, but it took time for God to open the door internationally. In the meantime, we pastored in Surrey, Terrace, Langley, and Fort Langley. From 1996 to 2007, I Darc) served as the District Next Gen Director for B.C./Yukon. During that period, we launched a mission apprenticeship and discipleship program, as well as hosted retreats overseas for young global workers. In 2007, we joined Mission Global, where Darcy served as the Personnel and Family Life Director, and Leanne founded ZOE Network. In 2019, after 29 years, we said "yes" to serving in Asia while also expanding ZOE. In late 2024, Darcy accepted the Development and Communications role with Mission Global. Both of us hold a Master of Arts in Leadership, are certified coaches, and Darcy is a Birkman Consultant

PRAYER REQUESTS:

• For the Holy Spirit to ignite an Acts 1:8 passion within our Canadian context.
• For God to open doors to reach new nations and people groups, and for people to say yes to the call to cross cultures with the gospel. 
• For God to raise up more fruitful leaders through our work with the ZOE Network, Canadian churches, marriage ministry, and one-on-one leadership discipleship/coaching.
• For God to keep us healthy and protect us as we travel and minister globally.
