MIA Staff
Acting
Executive Director
Sam Crowther
Sam Crowther was recruited as MIA’s Director of Development in early 2007.
Toward the end of the same year, Ministries In Action's Executive Director
informed MIA that the Lord was calling he and his wife to serve as missionaries
in Zimbabwe. The Board of Directors called upon Sam to serve as Acting
Executive Director. In addition to
overseeing the day-to-day operation of the MIA office in Miami, Sam continues to
fulfill his development duties.
Sam was born in Ingwavuma, South Africa, to missionary parents, but grew up and
resides in Miami, FL. Before coming to MIA, he served the Lord in local church
ministries, Christian music ministry and as a Bible teacher at Dade Christian
School. He also has several years of small business management experience and
sales and marketing experience in the technology field. Sam is excited about
what God is currently accomplishing through Ministries In Action and eagerly
anticipating what He will allow MIA to be part of in the future.
