Staff

I’m Marshall — Director at the Northwest Community Center, where I have the honor of serving refugees and their families alongside an incredibly gifted team. My work has largely existed within the nonprofit sector focusing on cross-cultural engagement, community development and servant-leadership. I met Jesus at 17 (thanks to a gracious youth pastor and free BBQ) - and I’ve been trying to live out His love ever since. “Love all” is a motto I keep close in every part of life — where I live, learn, work and hang. (John 13:34–35) I’m married to my best friend Breanna and together we’re raising three amazing kids: Mckinney (Mak), Jude, and MJ (Marshall Jr.). When I’m not DJing a family dance party in the kitchen or playing catch, you’ll probably find me golfing, cheering for the Rangers/Spurs/Cowboys/Liverpool or enjoying good food on a patio with friends and family.

In late 2007, I became friends with a refugee family from Togo. I continue to value my times of fellowship with them, from meals to school graduations. It is my privilege to serve alongside a team of ministry leaders, volunteers and community partners to assist refugee families in their transition to a new life in Dallas. I have a passion for work in the non-profit sector, specifically in helping families to financial stability and equipping them to thrive in a new culture. Micah 6:8 encourages me to pursue justice, extend kindness, and to be humble as I serve in Vickery Meadow.

I was born and raised in southeastern Europe in a non-Christian home. I got born again at the age of 16. For the last 8 years my family and I have been serving alongside “Youth With A Mission” (YWAM) as fulltime missionaries here in the United States. I consider it a great blessing the opportunity to serve alongside the NCC team as a Refugee Leader, reaching out to the nations that God brought in our doorstep!

In January 2007, I joined Northwest Bible Church after being resettled in the United States from a life in Refugee camps. After being rescued by the Lord from many wars, I was very hungry to find a church where I could belong and give thanks to God for His rescue. I joined the Northwest staff in 2012 as an Event Specialist, but I had a desire to help refugees more, and in 2014, God gave me the opportunity to serve refugees full time.

I am deeply humbled and grateful for the opportunity of serving as an Academic Coach at Northwest Bible Church! Being given this opportunity propelled my decision to put my faith over my fear and take the journey from West Palm Beach Florida to Dallas Texas and attend Dallas Theological Seminary. Growing up in a loving Christian based family who held education to a high esteem I have always leaned towards wanting to build a career in education. My thoughts were that I would become a math teacher like my dad but the Lord laughs when we plan, and after the passing of my dad, my focus shifted from mathematical teachings to a voracious desire to want to teach myself and others about the life changing Word of God. Northwest Bible Church has offered me the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone, put my whole faith in where the Lord is taking me, and allow Jesus to be truly the way, the truth, and the life of my life’s journey. When I’m letting my hair down and kicking my feet up relaxing, I love to spend time with my family or go to the gym and continue to build my passion for running. The Bible verse that I vow to live by is Mathew 6:33, I vow to seek God first in all that I do, and I am excited to see what the good Lord has in store.

My name is Daniel Mutia. I was born and raised in Kenya. I became a Christian in 1984 while I was in Junior high. The Lord gave me the grace to grow in him and called me to full-time ministry in October 1992. I have been in the church ministry in Kenya for over 20 years. After joining Dallas Theological Seminary for my graduate studies, I joined Northwest Bible Church in the summer of 2017.  I am privileged to be a local missionary at the Northwest Community Center to serve in the career development program. Seeing refugees' lives change through workforce development is a great honor.
