Featured Guest Speakers

At Shaped For Service, we will have an extraordinary opportunity to hear from, and interact with, amazing disciples of Jesus who have allowed God to shape their hearts and lives in order to be prepared for the exact situations in which God has placed them.


Rev. Dr. Aisand Wright-Riggins
The Reverend Dr. Aisand Wright-Riggins serves as the executive director of the American Baptist Home Mission Societies, formerly known as National Ministries.  In that capacity, Dr. Wright-Riggins provides visionary leadership to ABHMS’s wide-ranging ministries of discipleship, missional leadership, and caring for people in need.  He says of himself, "I am unapologetically evangelical, unashamedly ecumenical and unabashedly committed to the emancipation of all people from personal and public sin and selfishness. If we can walk in the reality that we are found, free, full and forgiven, faithfulness and fruitfulness will be the legacy of our lives and ministry."  Dr. Wright-Riggins will bring the message during Friday night’s worship, and will be available for conversation throughout the day on Saturday.

Rev. Dagoberto and Dilia Zelaya

The Reverend Dagoberto and Dilia Zelaya were recently approved as endorsed missionary candidates with International Ministries to serve children in need through the Fe Vida Nueva (Faith New Life) Children’s Home in Azacualpa, Honduras.  Dago and Dilia will share on Saturday how God used Hurricane Mitch in 1998 to further shape their lives and refine their vision of providing a home for children in need in their native country, while at the same time planting a church that reaches out and provides ministry to the community.  They are members of First Baptist Church of Marshalltown and are Mid-American Baptist Churches’ newest Special Interest Missionaries.


Kristy Engel, RN, MSN, CPNP

Kristy Engel, RN, MSN, CPNP, has served as a medical missionary with International Ministries in the Dominican Republic since 2000.  She coordinates mobile medical clinics to approximately 120 villages within an hour’s drive of La Romana, while also directing the work of some 70+ medical, construction and evangelism teams from a variety of churches, organizations, and educational institutions in the United States who come every year to the DR.  On Saturday, you will hear how God uniquely shaped and positioned Kristy to respond to the overwhelming needs in Haiti following the devastating earthquake there earlier this year.  Kristy is a member of First Baptist Church of Keokuk, Iowa, and one of our region’s Special Interest Missionaries.
