Shan Reed

Serving with NAB Director of Mobilization

Shan was born in Wichita, Kansas in 1969.  Her parents have served as models for her spiritual and professional development.  As a fourth grader, she began to understand that her parent's faith could not be transferred as her own, that she had to make that decision on her own.  In April of 1979 she was baptized and became a member of West Center Street Baptist Church in Madison, SD. 

Shan is a graduate of of Bethel College in St. Paul, MN, with a B.A. in Elementary Education.  She was active in band, youth activities, college-aged Sunday school, and tutoring Japanese college students in English.  She has studied both Spanish and Japanese.

After twenty-five years serving as an NAB international missionary in Japan, Shan Reed is taking on a new role, having been appointed as the NAB’s new mobilization director.

In her role as the mobilization director, Shan will advance the strategic vision of NAB International Missions by igniting and resourcing deep, passionate engagement with international missions across NAB churches. She will be a pivotal part of fostering a movement of sending—going, giving, praying, and celebrating—by equipping churches and individuals to respond to Jesus’s commission to make disciples of all nations. Shan will work closely with regional ministers, churches, and individuals to cultivate a culture of sacrificial sending and meaningful partnership in global missions.

Shan will work alongside NAB churches and regions to deepen mission engagement and to inspire and mentor those God is calling to serve on the international mission field. Reach out to Shan today to explore how she can inspire, serve, or resource you or your church for international missions.
