Patti Buss reminds us that those who are one in Christ communicate the good news of Jesus into the world through their complete unity. Within the landscape of Eugene, pastors, churches, and Christians have joined together in prayer, service, and creative response as they partner together as one body.

Patti has lived in Eugene with a missional mindset for over 20 years. She and her husband Steve lead a local non-profit called One Hope, which connects our community to demonstrate God's love in the greater Eugene / Springfield area.

Jeff and his family were missionaries in Cambodia for 21 years, and Jeff has his Doctor of Intercultural Studies from Biola University.
