ANNOUNCEMENT

A NEW CEO HAS BEEN APPOINTED!

The Board of the International Training Alliance

Jeff and Susana Turnbough

Crispus and Silvana Christian

-26 June 2025. It is with a grateful heart that I can communicate to you that the ITA board has appointed Dr Crispus Christian to be the next ITA Chief Executive Officer.

Most of us already know Crispus as he has served ITA so well as ITA’s Director of Operations since 2016. We give God thanks for him and his wife Silvana, and I ask you to pray for them as Crispus prepares to take over the CEO role 1st September.

We are also very grateful for Jeff and Susana Turnbough for their faithful service to ITA. Jeff has led the Alliance for ten years, through challenging times and significant development. We want to celebrate God’s goodness to ITA and the hundreds who have benefited from the ministry under Jeff’s leadership.

The ITA Council will convene in Chiang Mai, Thailand October 13-15 to celebrate.

This meeting will be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate with Jeff and Susana as well as to commission and support Crispus and Silvana. It is a critical opportunity to agree as a global Council as to the way forward so together we can continue to impact and to train many leaders across the world. Your prayers and support are critical.

On behalf of the ITA Board,

Peter Nicoll, ITA Chair
