Kevin Mason

Kevin has been the senior director of global programs for visionSynergy since 2019. In recent years, Kevin’s leadership approach has shifted from a highly-driven, task-oriented person to a more open, inclusive, developmental leader with a desire to help other leaders realize their God-given potential. A key factor in this shift was the result of facilitating two peer-discipling groups with Battle for Hearts in 2017. In January 2019, Kevin participated in Freedom to Lead leadership development training of trainers for story-centric learners. Kevin is also a trained coach through the COACH Model developed by Keith Webb for ministry leaders. He received his professional coaching certificate (ACC) from the International Coaching Federation in 2020. Kevin met his wife, Wendy, while at university. Sensing a call to incarnational, cross-cultural ministry, they undertook preparation and training alongside their academic studies. Kevin and Wendy then lived in Estonia and served European church planters and leaders from 1996 to 2010. During their ministry, they saw a half dozen new congregations planted in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. They initiated partnerships in Sweden to establish a ministry to unreached university students. Kevin served in a number of roles for United World Mission, including as area director in Northern Europe and East Africa, global partnerships director, and director for strategic partnerships in Europe and Asia from 2010-2019. Kevin holds an MDiv in missions from Columbia International University, South Carolina, and a BS in non-Western history from Appalachian State University, North Carolina. Kevin and Wendy have four children: Chelsea, Cameron, Caroline, and Chad. After 24 years in Estonia and Hungary, the Masons relocated to Pennsylvania in the U.S. to continue their international role of equipping network leaders in visionSynergy’s target areas: MENA, S. Asia, and E. Asia.
