Lauren Clevenger, alongside her siblings, Shelby and Kenny, completes the Executive Leadership Team of Missio International (MI) in Knoxville, helping to care for and expand the ministry started by their parents almost 30 years ago. An initial medical mission trip to Romania in 1993 introduced Lauren first-hand to the work that God was doing in the lives of his people in Romania. Subsequent trips and deepening relationships with ministry friends, both in the US and in Romania, led to Lauren joining MI’s Board officially in 2018, and accepting the invitation to help shepherd Missio International in a new season of growth and expansion since 2019. Lauren, a practicing Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, is especially thrilled to bring her lifelong calling to care for kids alongside her focused support of the work of MLI’s Children at Risk Ministry. She and her husband Kelly enjoy trying to keep up with their growing family, recently welcoming their fifth grandchild!
