Coaching Mission International

Gwen Flaming comes to us with 40+ years of service in overseas ministry, including living in Monaco, Bonaire, Sri Lanka, and Singapore. She has an understanding of many of the challenges faced by Christian workers serving in cross-cultural settings and continues to use her giftings and training as a coach to walk alongside workers serving in Asia and the Pacific. Gwen’s strong desire is to see missionaries finish well in what God has called them to do. Her passion is to be a catalyst and facilitator for life change and replication through training, coaching, and mentoring. Gwen has served as a CMI coach and trainer for the past 9 years. Gwen and her husband Vic have been married 43 years, and have a hobby farm in rural Nebraska.

After taking part in CMI’s first Professional Coach training in 2009, Jon’s passion to see transformation in people’s lives was set ablaze when he saw the power of coaching to help people get unstuck, grow and thrive. His missions experiences include Zimbabwe with his family as a child and leading multiple short-term trips to Guinea, Kenya, and Mexico. He comes to us with a rich background in pastoral ministry and accepted the call to become CMI’s executive director in 2018. He and his wife June live in Arizona where they love to ride bikes together. They also live near their 2 adult sons and new granddaughter.
