It’s an extraordinary moment for global and local missions. This year’s missions' luncheon will inspire you to continue wholehearted engagement in missions’ partnerships and challenge you to expand and accelerate the vision God has given you for your local congregation. Alex Rodriguez, national Chi Alpha director will share a compelling message. Ohio for Jesus, Jesus for the World!
Alex Rodriguez began his missionary career in 2009 by giving a year in Kazakhstan, where he helped a team plant college ministry on the campuses of Almaty. In 2010, he completed a Campus Missionary in Training program to become better equipped in ministry skills, professional development, and theological development. In 2013, Alex and his wife, Abby, led a team to pioneer campus ministry in the state of New Mexico.
Alex accepted the role of training director in 2018 and moved to Springfield, Missouri, to work in the National Chi Alpha Ministry Center. Within this role, he oversaw the internship programs of Chi Alpha, staff training conferences, data analysis, and training content.
On June 3, 2024, Alex became the national director of Chi Alpha Campus Ministries, U.S.A. His current responsibilities include stewarding the mission, vision, and values of Chi Alpha while providing administrative oversight, and representing the ministry within the General Council of the Assemblies of God.
