Mission Executive. Jack Frizen began his life of mission service while serving the U.S. Navy in the Philippines. He helped start a nondenominational Bible School called the Far Eastern Bible Institute and Seminary and what is known today as SEND International. He served in the Philippines for eight years after his graduation from CBS. In 1962, Jack was selected as executive director of Interdenominational Foreign Mission Association of North America (IFMA), which is the accrediting agency for conservation evangelical missions that are not a part of a denomination. IFMA had 45 member missions and when he stepped down, IFMA had 72 North American-based agencies representing 11,100 cross-cultural missionaries from North America and 3,000 missionaries from other countries. Dr. Frizen's work will continue to benefit the direction of missions and their leaders for many generations. Jack passed away in 2012.
