New Partners at Partners

Spencer Kerrigan has been named National Director for Partners USA. Spencer lives with his wife Lyssa, his son Pierce, and his daughter Madison in Redlands, California. Steve Gumaer at Partners tells us Spencer and Lyssa bring a vitality and passion to Partners Relief & Development that has already inspired and blessed the rest of the Partners family.

Partners was a significant contact and, yes, partner for our mission team while we were in Thailand, earlier this year. Our bond has been strengthened by that experience, and by contacts in the months that followed, including a visit to Midland by Partners' founder, Steve Gumaer. Partners' mission is to demonstrate God's love to victims of conflict and oppression.

Along with his administrative duties, Spencer will be responsible for interacting with churches, businesses, civic groups, and media outlets who are involved in our work with the people of Burma. Lyssa will interact with churches, government agencies, and other non-profit organizations. Spencer and Lyssa are articulate speakers and represent the people of Burma passionately. If you would like to welcome them into our community or invite them to share with your organization, church or group, please email Spencer at
spencer@partnersworld.org or Lyssa at lyssa@partnersworld.org
