Rich HendersonRich Henderson
Director of Missions

During my 20 years as a Campus Staff Member and/or Area Director I have staffed or led multiple Global Projects (Honduras, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Ukraine), commuted from the States to supervise IV Link staff (Ukraine, Russia, Central Asia), and regularly taught STIM (Student Training in Missions). As Director of Missions, I provide oversight for IV's cross-cultural ministries, focus on helping staff and students integrate missions into their lives and chapters, and serve as the liaison between IV/USA and the IFES work in the Middle East and North Africa.

Urbana 79 was the critical event that started me on my journey of loving God's purposes in the world. I love helping students grow as world Christians and discover their next steps in living out God's concerns for the lost - to the ends of the earth.

One of my favorite authors is Chiam Potok. I love off-beat movies that make you think. As for places - it's hard to beat the Colorado Rockies.
