Reflecting on his new role, Gibson expressed, “I am deeply honored to join WorldServe International in this capacity. For as long as I can remember, my life has been driven by a passion to help those who need it most. The work WorldServe is doing—bringing clean water and sustainable solutions to the world’s most marginalized communities—aligns perfectly with my lifelong commitment to making a real difference. I am excited to share these powerful stories of transformation with the world and amplify the incredible impact this organization has had for more than two decades.” Gibson and his wife, Savannah, live in Springfield, Missouri, which will serve as his base of operations in his new role.
