Chris Clayman
Joshua Project Executive Director
Chris Clayman serves as the Executive Director of Joshua Project. Previously, he was involved in pioneer mission work in West Africa and New York City among Muslim peoples. He has also initiated and contributed to mobilization and outreach efforts focused on unreached peoples, including Global Gates, Heart for Muslims, Welcome Africans, and UPG North America. In addition to his ministry work, he is the author of Superplan: A Journey into God’s Story and ethNYcity: The Nations, Tongues, and Faiths of Metropolitan New York.

Joshua Project exists to help the Body of Christ focus on the peoples and places with the least access to the gospel. While there are many ways the global Church serves in mission, some groups still lack a significant church presence to carry forward God’s work among them. By highlighting these unreached peoples, Joshua Project equips mission leaders, prayer partners, churches, and missionaries to take informed next steps. At its core, the ministry reflects God’s desire to bless all peoples and make His glory known among the nations.

James Rayment
The Al-Ma’idah Initiative Executive Director
James Rayment was born in England, but has lived in Seattle for 14 years with his wife and 5 kids. Since 2012, James has been building relationships with Muslims in Seattle and around the world. Because of this ministry he founded The Al-Ma’idah Initiative, a Christian nonprofit that equips the church to understand and communicate better with Muslims on a range of religious, political and worldview issues. The goal of Al-Ma’idah is to create genuine friendships without shying away from the exclusivity of Jesus’ message, communicating the Bible in a way that Muslims can understand. They have worked to train churches in America, Central Asia and the Middle East. This work has taken us on extraordinary adventures—from the streets of Guadalajara, to the deserts of Saudi Arabia—and the Al-Ma’idah Initiative has seen God do amazing things!
