God awakened Stephanie DuPraw’s heart for unreached people during her first mission trip to Mexico in 2001.  Between 2004 and 2008, Stephanie joined To Every Tribe as a team member on short-term trips to Media Luna, Emilano Zapata, and Centenario, Mexico.  Stephanie graduated from Western Michigan University in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business and Management.  A year later she accepted a position as an Inventory Control Specialist at Family Christian Stores in Kalamazoo, MI.  As an employee of FCS, Stephanie had the opportunity to go on another mission trip to Monterrey, Mexico in 2008 with the James Fund.   Each of these trips enlarged Stephanie’s passion and burden for those in Mexico who had yet to hear the name of Jesus.

As she considered becoming a student at the Center for Pioneer Church Planting, Stephanie discussed her interests with the staff of To Every Tribe.  Everyone recognized that Stephanie’s gifts and expertise were a natural fit for a staff position.  After praying with her family and church leaders, Stephanie joined the staff in January 2009.  Stephanie works closely with Tommi Sitton in the office of To Every Tribe.  She continues to take trips with students on short-term missions (two to Emiliano Zapata and one to La Barra).  She also plays a vital role in developing e-communications and handles financial receipts.

Stephanie is continually amazed how the things she has learned in life from her parents, in college, and past jobs are being used by God as she works in the office of To Every Tribe.  Students and staff are tremendously blessed to have Stephanie as a part of the ministry.  Although she misses her family and church in Kalamazoo, MI, she is thrilled to be a partner of the exciting work God is doing as he uses his people to spread his name to the nations.  Please pray for Stephanie as she continues to raise support for her work with To Every Tribe.
