As Vice President of Global Operations, Kerry helped develop the Life on Life curriculum and saw it expand to serve thousands of children around the globe. She feels humbled to participate in the work the Lord is doing to transform children all around the world.

Dan Woodbury

Sr. Director, Global Initiatives

Mission and ministry has been a great part of my life, both growing up and now in almost my 15th year with David C Cook. As the global scene has changed, with culture, economic and missional shifts, I am so glad that as a ministry, we at David C Cook continue to stay true to our calling. That is, coming alongside the global Church in partnership with nationals to reach their countries with the message of Jesus. My family, wife, three children and six grandkids, who all live in Minnesota, are blessed beyond measure as we continue to be involved in Kingdom advancement.
