Kathleen Tiemubol [tee-em-oo-bone] began work as Assistant to the Executive Director, Fred Davison, in January 2005, after returning from Bangkok with her husband George. In Thailand, Kathleen worked as an English teacher and volunteered with a mission agency that worked in slum communities.

Born in New Jersey, Kathleen has called the Los Angeles area home since she was ten. Before pursuing a missionary career, she obtained her BA in English Literature at Pomona College and took several classes at Fuller as a limited enrollment student. With the vision of sending teams to live among the urban poor, she worked with a group of InterVarsity graduates to found Servant Partners International in 1993. The organization started with teams living in five low-income neighborhoods of Los Angeles, including Northwest Pasadena. It has now expanded overseas, with teams in Mexico, North Africa, the Middle East, Kenya, Thailand, and India.

In the future, Kathleen and her husband plan to return to Bangkok and work to empower the poor through micro-enterprise development and savings and loan programs. They also hope to start an agency to place orphaned and abandoned children in Christian homes, as well as adopting a few of the children themselves.
