Role

Avery is just starting a new role as the IT Support Specialist for IFI. He continues to support new leaders with administrative needs, but his responsibilities now include serving as the primary IT contact across IFI, handling helpdesk tickets, troubleshooting software and hardware issues, maintaining security protocols and data integrity, developing resources, and more.

Previously, Avery served as the Mobilization Coordinator, where he helped with various aspects of “mobilization”: inspiring others to explore collaborative opportunities with IFI, initiating new avenues for creative mobilization, and supporting new leaders with administrative needs.

Avery continues to journey with and support international students in Indianapolis, Chicago, and beyond.

Background

Avery knew about God growing up, but did not follow him. As a teenager, he began a process of questioning and exploring the truth. In 2017, he experienced life transformation and became new in Christ (2 Cor 5:17; Rom 6:4-7).

He began serving in a Christian community organization exploring life’s biggest questions, named Ratio Christi. While in college, he enjoyed engaging in discussions with students, faculty, and guests from diverse religious and cultural backgrounds.

He graduated from IUPUI (now IUI) in 2020 with a BA in History.

Avery helps the world feel at home by sharing God’s commitment and love to bless every people group, mobilizing others to do the same, and mentoring students into multiplying leaders. He is motivated by a commitment to let Jesus work through him as life and share Jesus’ love and grace with friends wherever he goes.
