Jesse Frame
Global partnership coordinator for Asia
Jesse began at New International in 2008 and after serving in Australia joined YouthHOPE in 2013. Jesse is extremely passionate about the global, yet relational ministry of YouthHOPE. During his time at YouthHOPE, Jesse has had the privilege of training youth workers in over 20 countries. “Something that means a lot to me is hearing stories from our partners about how youth are not only being discipled but how their lives are being changed -- whether through health, education, opportunities, churches or youth ministries being started.”
Dale Puckett
Director of Partnerships & Global partnership coordinator for Europe
Dale joined YouthHOPE in December of 2014 after working for many years as a youth pastor in the local church. “In being introduced to YouthHOPE, I recognized that many youth globally did not have trained youth workers to invest in their lives and offer the hope of Jesus. As a result, I felt God calling me and my family to something BIGGER. I believe that YouthHOPE is making a difference globally by developing leaders to impact youth in their contexts. I believe this is significant in disciple-making and I am grateful to be a part of it!”
Scott Ribble
Director of Operations
Scott has been with the YouthHOPE team since August of 2017. After a 20+ year career in the construction industry, God led him to change careers, move across the country, and start a new career that matches the passions God had been building in his heart - to spread the gospel by raising up global youth ministry workers around the world. Among other things, his career experience is helpful as he oversees and develops team systems and structures so YouthHOPE can be as effective as possible. “I'm convinced that investing in youth workers for the Kingdom of God is one of the most strategic ways to spread the hope of the good news of Jesus to see lives be transformed by that hope.”
Rebekah Saum
Director of Programming & global partnership coordinator for Africa & the Americas
Rebekah joined the YouthHOPE team as an apprentice in March of 2018 and has since become a full-time teammate serving as the Regional Liaison for Africa and the Americas. Her main focus is to care for our partners and global youth workers in those areas as well as help coordinate events in those regions. Rebekah is extremely passionate about the work of YouthHOPE. “I know that having a trained youth worker and/or mentor can radically impact the life of a young person to not only improve their life, but to help them live out their calling as a follower of Christ. I love that we get to impact the lives of countless young people by investing in the local leaders who serve them.”
