Pastor Jake and Susan Morgan
Prepare 180 is led by Pastor Jake Morgan and his wife, Susan. Pastor Jake’s background and experiences played a significant role in Prepare 180’s creation. Having mentored troubled youth, preached in prisons and jails, and built relationships with the homeless for many years, he has a contagious passion for ministry.
Pastor Jake’s journey began when he experienced a radical transformation through Jesus Christ. From there, he felt a call to ministry and was directed toward youth ministry. He has spent the last twelve years working with teenagers, helping them understand the Gospel and encouraging them to make positive life choices. In addition, his experience as a troubled teen and a homeless individual and time spent in jail has helped him connect with those currently walking down those same paths.
Alongside his ministry to troubled teens, Pastor Jake volunteers in homeless and prison ministry. He understands the importance of building relationships with those often forgotten and left behind by society. He aims to help these individuals find hope in Jesus and lead them toward a brighter future.
Pastor Jake has also been involved in planting churches and building youth programs. He is passionate about equipping people with biblical truths, helping them grow in their faith, and leading them to recognize their place as part of The Church.
Our approach to ministry at Prepare International NFP is based on equipping Christian leaders with practical tools and resources to positively impact their communities. We strive to empower and help leaders reach their full potential through direct work, training seminars, and other initiatives. Our team members have diverse backgrounds and experiences, and we tailor our approach to meet the unique needs of each individual and community we work with. By sharing our knowledge and expertise, we can make a lasting impact on the world.

Our Impact and Reach
At Prepare International NFP, we measure our impact and reach through a number of initiatives and brands.
Our Prepare 180 ministry is focused on bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His mercy to the lost and broken, and encouraging spiritual growth as their lives are redirected. Kidz Xtreme, launched in 2011, aims to bring Biblical knowledge to children in low-income communities, helping to develop Christian leaders for future generations.
We also operate an African School of Missions in South Africa, where we train, resource, and network graduates to support them in their ministry work. These initiatives, along with our training seminars, direct work in poverty-stricken areas, and other efforts, help us to make a meaningful impact in communities around the world.
