Meet Our New Executive Director

Dear Expansion Family,

What a privilege it is to join Expansion International and serve as the Executive Director!

I first set foot on African soil as a missionary shortly after graduating from college, and during that time, the Lord gave me a deep love for the people of Africa and a desire to see them reached with the good news of the gospel.

After my time in Africa, I worked full-time in summer camp ministry in Washington, where I met my wife, Holly. We have been married for almost eleven years and have three boys, Isaiah, Malachi, and Levi. For the past ten years, I have served with Africa Inland Mission, recruiting missionaries and helping local churches send, support, and care for missionaries.

Now, it is a joy to join Expansion International and continue serving the Lord in this new role. I’m excited to see how God will use EI to help communities be transformed through the love of Jesus Christ, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of what He is doing.

Sincerely,

Josh Pagel

Executive Director
