Ministry Focus
Lane Moreland is part of a team pioneering new ways to train new missionaries to be sent. In partnership with Bob Lehman, Director of Leadership Impact, Lane will begin to build the Academy, a world-class missionary training program. Some of the responsibilities include:
• Building the infrastructure of the Academy
• Identify and recruit new candidates
• Integrate trained missionaries into the field
It is their God-sized vision that they will see new missionaries be trained up and transition to their Gospel centered mission.
Faith Story
Both Lane and Chloe were brought up in the faith, Chloe accepted Christ as her Lord at a young age, while Lane accepted Christ as a teenager. Both became involved in youth groups at their churches until the call of ministry brought them to Southeastern University as students where they met. They were married half way through college and upon graduating Lane and Chloe waited in prayer until the Lord revealed Missions Door as their next step in ministry.
Education
Lane and Chloe came to Missions Door with a shared history of ministry internships and short-term mission trips. Both are graduates of Southeastern University (Ohio campus): Lane earned a Bachelor of Science in Missional Leadership, and Chloe holds an Associate in Ministerial Leadership. While they have served in various ministry roles previously, they are excited to begin this first official missionary assignment together. As they follow the Lord's clear calling into this new chapter, Lane and Chloe are also enjoying life as a new family with their young son.
WAYS TO SUPPORT
Lane and Chloe by making a financial donation using a Credit Card or by Direct Debit (ACH).
