Rev. Daniel M. McNerney
Associate Director
BACKGROUND AND CALL
Dan became a follower of Jesus Christ during the time that he
worked as an agriculture commodities trader with
Cargill in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Dan’s first call
took him out of a business career into missionary
service in San Jose, Costa Rica, where he learned
Spanish and helped start a church. God then led him
into another brand-new experience as an ordained
minister of the Presbyterian Church USA, something
that no one in his family’s history, as far as he
knew, had ever done before. In fact, Dan’s father
and four siblings all earned their master’s in
business and pursued management careers.
SERVICE
After having lived and served in Costa Rica, Dan returned to
the United States in the mid 1980’s and earned his
Master’s of Divinity degree from Trinity Evangelical
Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois. He went on
to serve the very church in which he was raised, the
Winnetka Presbyterian Church of Winnetka, Illinois.
He helped parishioners find their mission call and led many short-term
mission teams into cross-cultural settings, like
Mexico and East Africa.
MINISTRY FOCUS
Dan is equally comfortable
mobilizing
North American churches, and developing frontier
mission initiatives overseas. He has helped PFF
begin new frontier mission work in Latin America,
parts of Europe, and in the Middle East. Dan has
entered into special relationships with numerous
congregations counseling them as they learn
how to become more strategic in missional practice
and character. He has a passion to see the
Muslim world have access to the Good News of Jesus
Christ. Dan has become quite
knowledgeable in Islam. He recently started a very
successful study group on Islam for the northern
suburbs of Chicago.
