George Sisler has been appointed as the Work and Witness Coordinator for the U.S. and Canada. In a unique two-year contractual partnership between World Mission and USA/Canada Mission Evangelism, Sisler will be responsible for coordinating and mobilizing teams of volunteers to serve churches and compassionate ministry centers in the U.S. and Canada.

Barry and Charlie Carney, who previously held this position, have returned to the pastorate in Arkansas.

Sisler has been organizing Work and Witness projects and volunteers for over a decade. Among his earliest assignments in 1999, he volunteered in Mexico, assisting the Work and Witness coordinators and leading teams while they were in Mexico.
 
In 2000, he joined the One Heart-Many Hands team in preparation for the organization's 2001 Work and Witness project, coinciding with the General Assembly of the Church of the Nazarene in Indianapolis, Indiana.

More recently, Sisler served as project director for Restoring Hope, a multi-state project coordinated by Nazarene Disaster Response. For almost two years following hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Sisler and his team organized thousands of Nazarene volunteers, working on more than a thousand projects throughout the U.S. Gulf Coast.

Sisler grew up on the mission field in Chile where his parents served as Nazarene missionaries for more than 15 years. He attended Mount Vernon Nazarene University from 1989 through 1993, where he met his wife, Heather. Sisler is an ordained elder in the Church of the Nazarene and served as youth pastor in Central Ohio following college.
  
The Sislers, along with their six year old son, currently reside in Orlando, Florida, where Sisler is serving as project director for the One Heart-Many Hands 2009 Work and Witness project in conjunction with the 27th General Assembly of the Church of the Nazarene.
