This morning we are blessed to hear from Travis Geisel, coordinator of NextGen Ministries for the Central Region of the Missionary Church. Travis graduated from Bethel in 2009. During his time here, he was involved in Choir, Concert and Jazz Bands, Jazz Combo, and was a dedicated member of the Wiekamp Wackos (just think of a 2008 version of Peyton Miller).
In his role as NextGen Ministries Coordinator, Travis works with churches across Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin, supporting and caring for Children’s and Student Ministries’ Pastors, and helping to engage, equip, and empower emerging leaders in their ministry callings.
Travis, his wife, Lindsay, and their four children attend the Pathway Community Church in Ft. Wayne, and in their free time, they love to travel to new cities, catch a baseball games, and explore local restaurants.
