Since 2015
Dale and Christa have been serving and leading youth ministries for more than 25 years. In 2014, they were led by the Lord to join New International and serve full-time with YouthHOPE to pursue and invest in global youth ministry by using their gifts, talents, education, and experience to empower, teach, and train those passionate about transforming the lives of global youth.
Dale and Christa connected to New International through their friends Justin and Karena Hanneken. It was during Ends Cycling's Midwest Bike Ride that both Christa and Dale felt the Lord leading them to serve in global youth ministry. They believe in the mission of proclaiming Christ and making disciples globally. Because of YouthHOPE and their desire to see life transformation happen in the lives of global youth, the Puckett's affiliated with New International in 2014.
Dale is excited to serve with the YouthHOPE team as the Director of Partnerships, training, equipping, and developing youth workers to pour into the lives of global youth! Christa serves as New International's Director of Human Resources in which she has the opportunity to minister to new affiliates and current NI missionaries all over the world. Dale and Christa have two children, Tyler (24) and a daughter (21).
