New Mobilization director joins CMF team

Ben Fair, a graduate of Johnson Bible College and Indiana native, has joined the CMF Mission Service Center team as the new Director of Mobilization. Ben will oversee the recruitment of new missionaries and their support raising, the REACH and apprenticeship programs and nurture relationships with CMF’s church partners. He will be on the road about 100 days a year visiting Bible colleges, universities, and churches, and representing CMF at conferences.

Ben grew up as a “preacher’s kid” in Trafalger, IN. Following high school he operated a lawn and landscaping business for several years, then attended Johnson Bible College in Knoxville, TN. He majored in missions and Bible, played baseball and, during his final year there, served as head coach of the JBC baseball team and managed 70 acres of sports fields for the college. He graduated from JBC in May 2010. He is an avid outdoorsman who loves to camp, hike, and ride mountain bikes.

Ben credits his REACH internship in Nairobi, Kenya, in 2009 with opening his eyes to global missions and introducing him to the many ways in which CMF cares for its missionaries.

“God answered my prayer for an open door into mission work with a call to serve people and communities as part of CMF’s team,” Ben said.

“It’s so encouraging to come here every day and have the opportunity to glorify God’s kingdom through serving others.”
