John and Joann Hawkins

John and Joann were introduced to WIM by friends at Christ for the Nations and joined in 1990. They lived in Mexico with their five daughters for 13 years, planting churches, and returned to Texas in 2004 to help create Nation-2-Nation Christian University (n2ncu.org), a video Bible school whose goal is to train and equip Christian leaders around the world (with schools in 45 countries and the United States). They offer courses in Bible, ministry, leadership, and community development through in-person, church-based schools and through individual study online. Their vision is to transform nations by motivating churches to be change agents in their communities. Their associate and bachelor graduates have doubled church memberships, planted new churches, and impacted their communities in practical ways that have resulted in lifting people from poverty to such an extent that government officials have asked them to share their knowledge.
