About

Right now 1.2 billion people in China need to know about God's love for them. Our team is dedicated to spreading God's love in a way that multiplies across China. The way we spread His love is by combining the good news with good deeds. The gospel is a message that is best expressed in both words of love and works of love. Good deeds create good will and good will is a great platform for sharing the good news.

Leadership Team

Gary Kendall, President

My God given goal is to lead a committed group of Christ followers to live out their international mission and so fulfill the Great Commission. My first priority is to lead my local church, the Indian Creek Community Church, to be a biblically functioning model church. I will work through Director Kristen Levitt to put gifted people in place to lead Project Partner to be an arm of outreach into China. Through Kristen, the Board of Trustees, and an active Steering Team I plan to raise up a community of like-minded people committed to serving China.

Kristen Levitt, Director

From a young age, I knew I wanted to spend my life living for something larger than myself. My heart ached when I saw the needs of others and I had the desire to do something to about it. 

I believe God's given me two passions in my life: sharing his love and photography. I have a heart for those who don't know Christ and a deep desire to share his love with them. I also love photography. I enjoy using my camera to uniquely capture an image, which will evoke emotion and tell a story. As I've grown, God's shown me how I can combine my passions to encourage others to share God's love with those who don't know it. I majored in Communications at Taylor University in Upland, IN. There I developed skills in communications, photography, and public speaking.

Mary Ruth Kendall, Donor Communications Assistant

For most of my life I've felt a clear call from God to ministry and enjoyed serving alongside my late husband, Paul Kendall. After his death in 2010, I began thinking about what God was calling me in this new stage of life. God has blessed me and provided for me in amazing ways. I want to return some of His gracious favor by continuing to make a difference. I believe He has uniquely positioned me to share His love and help fulfill the Great Commission. My service to Project Partner is part of that and serve its ministry in Kansas City in order to touch hearts and transform communities in China.
