Jesse Kroeze

Jesse Kroeze is a passionate innovator, a lover of culture, and a coffee connoisseur. He is known for being a deep-thinker, a peace-making leader, an avid entrepreneur, and an eternal student. Jesse and his wife, Andrea, are a power-team full of enthusiasm related to global missions, adoption and living out the Kingdom of God. 

A New Jersey native, Jesse traveled around Central America after graduating from Taylor University seeking adventure, mastery of the Spanish language and God’s leading on his life.  It eventually brought him back to the Northeast where he took a position with Touch the World managing a coffee-house ministry.  It was here that his path crossed with the woman who would become his wife and their combined passions eventually carried them across the Atlantic to begin a ministry in Uganda, Africa.  

After five years exploring the intricacies of community development as the Country Director of Touch The World – Uganda, Jesse was asked to return to lead the future path of the mission organization, Touch The World as Executive Director.  Along with his wife and three children, their oldest adopted from Uganda, Jesse seeks to partake in sharing the global perspectives of missions we have been called to as Christ’s ambassadors.
