Ben spent much of his early years in Ohio (Go Buckeyes!) before attending Asbury University where he earned his degree in Theology with a minor in Christian Ministries. He then worked at Asbury from 1997-2004 speaking in schools & churches on the value of a Christian liberal arts education and leading Asbury’s international admissions process. He then continued his career at Compassion International where he has served for the last 20 years, providing leadership to Compassion’s Church Engagement Team and connecting with churches and para-church ministries around the world. Ben currently resides in the Atlanta area with his beautiful wife, Vanessa, and their three children. He is an active member of his local church, where he helps lead the coffee ministry. Does anyone need a pour-over?
