 Dr. Bob Waldron, Executive Director of Missions Resource Network (www.mrnet.org ), decided to give his life to missions the same night he was converted to Christ at Pepperdine College in 1958. Shortly thereafter, he served as a cross-cultural evangelist to the Japanese-American community of Los Angeles and then as a preacher for the Church of Christ in Juneau, Alaska, before moving with his family to Guatemala, Central America, where he planted churches and trained church leaders throughout the nation. Following his return from Latin America, Waldron taught missions at the Bear Valley School of Biblical Studies in Denver for eight years, then moved to Abilene Christian University to serve in the Missions Department as the founding director for the McCaleb Institute for Missions Education. He also became co-director of the Continent of Great Cities, a ministry that recruited, prepared, and placed 16 long-term mission teams in South America's capital cities. He holds a B.A. in religion from Pepperdine University, M.A. in Missions from ACU, and DMin. in Missions from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. His course for new converts, A New Beginning, has been translated into several Eastern European languages. He and his wife, Gina, live in Hurst, Texas and are members at the Richland Hills Church of Christ.
