About Jim and Anne Wenger


Jim and Anne Wenger serve as Latin America Liaisons for Faculty Commons part of the global faculty network of Campus Crusade for Christ International. They also serve as Prayer Coordinators for the ministry. For 30 years Jim was engaged in Christian higher education, as missionaries in Latin America and also in the U.S. His most recent positions were on the faculty of Columbia International University for two decades, as Dean of the Extension Division and Director of the Department of InterCultural Studies. As Professor of InterCultural Studies he taught missions courses including World Religions. When in Mexico he was Academic Dean and Professor of New Testament at the Mexico Biblical Seminary in Puebla, Mexico. Prior to that the Wengers lived in Costa Rica for four years, where they attended language school and worked with local churches in Christian education and camping ministry.

Both Jim and Anne grew up in families and churches that encouraged them to participate actively in fulfilling the Great Commission cross-culturally. At this point in life they are grateful to have been able to go, give, and pray for God’s great missionary purpose.

The Wengers live in Columbia, SC, and have four adult children, one daughter and three married sons, as well as seven grandchildren.
