FGC LEADERSHIP

Stuart, has a Bachelors degree in business administration and economics. After spending 10 years with a family manufacturing business in Saskatchewan, he worked in fund development for a major Christian charity. There he gained invaluable experience with the administrative and accounting needs of missions.

In 2002, he launched the Great Commission Foundation, initially to provide estate planning for Christians. However, individuals started approaching Stuart with an entirely different need. They were operating charitable projects and ministries, but were unable to receipt donors. Stuart responded to this need through GCF, as the mandate and working relationships with potential missions came into focus. Out of this Friends of the Great Commission was also born.
