Meet Our Speakers:
Clint Morgan
Clint and his wife Lynette, daughter of pioneer medical missionaries Dr. LaVerne and Lorene Miley, served with excellence in Côte d’Ivoire (1976-2005). The couple spent two terms in evangelism and church planting before helping initiate and establish a Bible institute for training Ivorian leaders. Clint received a special assignment from the board in 2002 to research the possibility of the Mission entering creative access areas of the world. As a result, The Hanna Project was born in 2004. Clint was named its administrative director in 2010.
The Morgans served in France from 2007 to 2011. On February 10, 2011, Clint was selected as interim general director of International Missions. In September 2011, the board voted to employ him as general director.
Clint and Lynette have four children (Trey, Adam, Aaron, and Autumn) and seven grandchildren.
Don Matchett
Joining the IM office team in 2017, Don serves as the Director of Development. He dedicates himself to helping missionaries, local churches, and church leaders as they partner together to fulfill the Great Commission.
Before answering the call to preach, Don attended Arkansas Tech University, where he began a degree in pre-veterinarian medicine. He then graduated from the South African Theological Seminary with a Bachelor of Theology degree.
Don and his wife Margo served in ministry for many years in the state of Arkansas. He was ordained in 1997 and served as a youth pastor, music minister, and senior pastor before becoming the Arkansas FWB Missions Director in 2004.
Don and Margo were married in 1989 and have two children, Keeli and Asher.
Kristi Johnson
Kristi joined the IM family in 1997, when she and her husband, Tim, were appointed as missionaries to Spain. They helped plant the first ever Gospel-preaching church in the town of Alpedrete. While building relationships and truly loving the people she ministered to, Kristi spent her time discipling women, teaching children, organizing worship, and helping with various outreach efforts. In September of 2022, Kristi transitioned to our home office as the Development Communications Manager.
Leslie Nichols
Leslie joined the IM family in January 2019 serving as the assistant to the Director of Mobilization. In January 2021, she transitioned into the role of College Missions Program (CMP) Coordinator. Leslie moved into her role as the Director of Mobilization in January of 2023.
Leslie is a 2016 graduate of Welch College where she received her BA in Exercise Science and Theological Studies. Between Leslie’s current job as CMP Coordinator and her two degrees you can learn a lot about what she is passionate about – Christ, college students, and exercise/staying active.
She was born and raised in Nashville, TN. She enjoys finding a good “hole in the wall” restaurant, a road trip anywhere and everywhere, or just simply spending time with her friends, family, and her dog, Luna.
