As a successful water resource engineer for over ten years, Josh pursued the ‘American Dream’ and oversaw water development projects throughout the United States. He took his first trip to the Himalayas in November 2012 and he had a crisis of encounter that turned his world upside right. From that moment, his life shifted into the passionate mission of serving to meet the urgent physical and spiritual needs of the unreached. Josh is the Executive Director of TRIAD and BLACKBOX. On a personal note, Josh is a Colorado native and lives in Parker, Colorado with his beautiful wife Courtney, and their four children – Caleb, Abigail, Eli, and Miriam.

Tony and Martha Hinton

Thomas Stedman
Cru Church Movements
At Niagara University, I studied business but was known as the guys who lived on a boat in his father’s marina and loved to party. By my junior year, I met some guys on campus who lived out the gospel in such a way that showed me following Jesus didn’t have to be boring… in fact I saw how it was the abundant life, the hope in my brokenness, and the riveting adventure I was craving. I soon became known as the guy who drank water at the parties and loved talking about Jesus. God called me to be a fisher of men and create communities where others can discover what those guys showed me. I’d leave my boat and the family business to follow Him.
That looked like moving to UMass Amherst. I arrived in 2020. The pandemic had killed all momentum from past years yet allowed me to witness God do an amazing work through a culture of disciple-making and prayer. We saw multiple movements launch from our campus and numerous students saved and sent out on mission. By 2024, my heart grew beyond the campus. I began to imagine the impact if ordinary believers in the local church were equipped and empowered to live on mission. That vision led me to Cru Church Movements, where I now serve as a Partnering Church Catalyst—coming alongside New England churches to multiply missional communities.

Jeff Gore
Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA)
Although my family is all from the northeast, I spent most of my growing up years in the Augusta, Georgia area. I was saved and baptized on the same day when I was 10 during a revival meeting at the SBC church my family attended. I moved to NH during high school, met my wife, and we started dating in high school. We both attended and graduated from UNH.
In my Junior and Senior years at UNH, I participated in a FCA huddle started by my good friend Arnold Garron. I have served on the NH FCA Golf Tournament Committee for the last sixteen years. I was a member of the NH FCA Board for six years and have spent the last two years as a member of one of the FCA Northeast Region Boards. My wife Michele and I came to Calvary in the summer of 1985 right after we were married and raised our three children here. We enjoy serving with FCA and supporting its efforts to reach young people, many of whom have never attended an Evangelical Church, with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!!

Lindsay Hyvonen
Real Options
Lindsay Hyvonen has served as the Executive Director of Real Options Pregnancy Help Services for the past five years. Her passion for supporting those facing unplanned pregnancies is rooted in her deep-seated belief that every individual, including the preborn, is created in the image of God, and that everybody deserves compassionate care and resources. As a former board member of Real Options for eight years, she has a profound understanding of the center's mission and a hands-on perspective that informs her leadership. She is an unwavering advocate for building a community where women and families are empowered with the truth about pre-born life and supported with compassion and care. She is grateful for the opportunity she and the Real Options staff have to show the love of Jesus to the families that walk through their doors.
