Meet Andrea.
Andrea Kroeze is a missions educator, curriculum developer, and speaker with more than 20 years of experience helping students engage God's mission with theological depth and cultural humility. She serves as Training Director for Touch the World and is the lead instructor of The Missions Academy, a training platform that equips students for cross-cultural engagement and lifelong missional living. Andrea spent five years serving in Uganda, where she gained firsthand experience in community development and intercultural ministry. She holds a Master's in Global Missional Leadership from Fuller Theological Seminary and is currently pursuing a Doctor of Ministry in Youth, Family, and Culture.
Andrea brings a unique blend of practical ministry experience, global perspective, and academic research to the classroom. Her teaching helps students connect biblical theology with everyday life, exploring topics such as God's mission, cultural intelligence, discipleship, vocational calling, and global Christianity. Having trained thousands of students through experiential learning, she is passionate about creating spaces where students can ask meaningful questions, wrestle with big ideas, and discern God's direction for their lives.
Andrea believes education is most powerful when it forms the whole person—head, heart and body. She lives in Hawthorne, New Jersey, with her husband Jesse, Executive Director of Touch the World, and their three teenage and young adult children. She loves traveling, discovering new coffee shops, and always has a book recommendation ready.
