TESSA DEPUY
Tessa focuses on serving as a kind and helpful presence in marginalized and crisis-debilitated
communities. Inspired by the daring tales of clandestine missions and medical relief operations
to active warzones, Tessa has actively served in frontier mission work for over a decade. Tessa
nurtures flourishing and mutually uplifting relationships among the outcasted and downtrodden
of society. Based out of Denver, CO, and with a curious background in 911 Dispatch, Tessa
embraces the unique challenges of cross-cultural and bi-vocational ministry.
Tessa is a passionate advocate of the direct influence of the Gospel, through trauma-informed,
caring response and community-based capacity building. Tessa envisions indigenous peoples
united as the redeemed Church, serving through love in a life-giving function as shepherds of
restoration and reconciliation in dark, dangerous, and despised places.
Tessa’s aspiration, desperately dependent on the grace of God and the support of the local and
universal Church, is to catalyze an organic people movement to Christ among indigenous
peoples, witnessing the transformation of communities and nations for the glory of Jesus Christ.
