Staff and Ministries
Matt & Bev Hale
Matt and Bev Hale were a part of a Navigator Collegiate ministry as students, then as staff, before moving to central Detroit in 2003. Since then, their focus has been to love their neighbors while growing an intentional community of people committed to Jesus and to one another. Together they seek to live out The Kingdom through practices like worship, prayer, hospitality, racial reconciliation, alternative economics, and whole life discipleship.
Jim & Linda Haralson
After many years of service in Mexico with the Navigators reaching university students, young professionals and families, Jim and Linda returned to the USA and joined The Navigators Detroit Metro Mission. Jim and Linda are committed to Jesus and His kingdom and are on a journey of learning from others about their cultures, and as a result have grown in passion for justice and racial reconciliation. Jim and Linda have had the privilege to serve others through Listening and Inner Healing Prayer, Relational Healing and Strength Finders (a tool to discover your strengths.) They have served the I:58 community in Detroit and they seek to reach and disciple urban and immigrant families. Jim and Linda desire to love and serve others, encouraging them in their journeys of faith, their families and their ministries.
