Cathy Poffenberger
God gave Cathy Poffenberger a burden for the nations as she read through a copy of Operation World in 1997. She now has her third edition and still has a burden for the unreached and unengaged people of the world. Because of the association she and her husband have had with One Mission Society over the years, she was able to go on a prayer walk with an OMS team in 2012.
She currently serves as a special assignment missionary for South Asia and Singapore with OMS through the ministry of Dynamic Women in Missions. She and other leaders have helped women in both countries learn to use Train & Multiply materials to tell people about Jesus and then establish churches and disciple believers.
