Teri Adair

Written By Marcus dePaula

Human Resources Director

Teri, who grew up in Southern California, and Andrew, who grew up in Houston, met and married while they were studying at Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, CA. Teri completed a Masters in Cross-cultural Studies at Fuller, and Andrew received a M.Div. with a concentration in Cross-cultural Studies. They both share a passion for cross-cultural ministry. Andrew and Teri have three adult children (Rebekah, Gabrielle and Matthew).

After completing their studies at Fuller Seminary, they served on the staff of Highland Park Presbyterian Church (HPPC) in Dallas, TX. Andrew served as one of the associate pastors and Teri served as the Urban Mission Coordinator. After four and half years at HPPC, they moved to Central Asia in 1997 and spent nine years serving among the Muslim peoples of this region. They served with an international team of Christian professionals where their focus was demonstrating and sharing the love of Jesus through health, education and community development projects.

The Adair family moved from Central Asia to Houston in 2006 and accepted the invitation to start what has become The Antioch Partners (TAP). Andrew serves as the Executive Director of TAP, and Teri serves as the Member Care Director. TAP became operational in the summer of 2007 and approximately eighty Partners are now serving through TAP (and more are on the way). The Adairs are convinced God is continuing to call men and women from Presbyterian and other churches to serve him in the world in creative ways, and structures like TAP are necessary to help these servants thrive in their ministry callings. Andrew and Teri are grateful for the privilege of partnering with local churches here in the US and around the world in the assessment, training, sending, support, and care of long-term, cross-cultural servants who are being used by God to advance his Kingdom worldwide.

Marcus dePaula got his start working in the music industry serving as the production manager for Cafe Milano in Nashville, TN in the mid-90‘s, and later went on to work for seven years with Clair Bros. Enterprises in Nashville, TN as a touring live audio engineer and systems technician. He developed his technical expertise and troubleshooting skills in the intense and fast pace touring environment, becoming one of the most sought-after monitor engineers in Nashville. He recently spent three semesters teaching the Technical Track at The Contemporary Music Center in Brentwood, TN, where he had the opportunity to share his expertise and experiences with college students pursuing a career in the music industry. After “retiring” from touring in late 2005, Marcus joined the Audio One Nashville team where he was a CEDIA certified Systems Installation Technician specializing in planning and installing professional recording studios and high end home theaters. Marcus later joined the staff of his church, The Village Chapel, serving as Technical Director where he served for seven years. It was there that his interest in web technologies and services was sparked in building The Village Chapel's new website. Since joining Jenn as co-owner of Mixtus Media, Marcus has honed his technical skills in WordPress and Joomla CMS frameworks, graphics and video for the web, along with other web technologies in support of Mixtus Media's services. He is the technical "braun" to Jenn's brains.
