Nick and Lisa
We are Nick and Lisa Alsop. We are full-time missionaries with Josh McDowell Ministry in Plano. Nick is the Curriculum Coordinator and is tasked with working with church and ministry leaders around the world to develop and write evangelistic and discipleship training materials for them. Lisa works in our office as a cross functional project manager. She helps the ministry with any and all projects cross between departments.
JMM is a division of Cru. We are honored that God would use us in this way. We take encouragement from Scripture that says, “God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise,” (1 Cor. 1:27). We joined Cru in 2000 and were sent to serve at FamilyLife in Little Rock, AR. For the next eighteen years, Nick led the theological content team and was responsible to ensure that all of the content that FamilyLife produced, sold and taught was not only theologically accurate but also the best materials available on marriage and family.
!n 2025, Nick was asked to shift to a new position after he had successfully handed off the curriculum department to a capable South Korean couple. Now Nick is the Apologetic and Theological Specialist for the ministry.
Lisa is teh cross functional project manager for the ministry. She helps the ministry with any and all projects that involve multiple parts of the ministry. For instance, she is bringing together all the details and plans for the ministry to present ourselves to the whole of Cru (7-8000 staff members)this summer!
This work we do will transform current and future generations of believers in some of the most dangerous and closed areas of the world. The pastors and church leaders that we are serving have no other source of training for themselves and the people they shepherd. God has us here to meet this need.
We need your help.
