OTB STAFF

Jae and Debra Evans, founders of Outside the Bowl. They started OTB when they were living in South Africa teaching Bible study to children and realized the immense hunger in the children.

Jae and Debra Evans

Founders

Prior to founding Outside the Bowl, Jae had established himself as an accomplished engineer, designer, and entrepreneur. He founded multiple successful companies, developed an award-winning medical record system for Azron, Inc, and holds multiple patents for software algorithms and medical device hardware.

After he and his wife Debra sensed the clear call from God to move to Africa full-time for ministry, and after recognizing the extreme hunger in the South African townships, he leveraged his experience and talents to design large scale food production methods to meet the needs of the thousands of hungry children they met. His revolutionary Super Kitchen designs have proven themselves efficient and cost-effective and have been replicated in Tijuana, Mexicali, Juarez, and Haiti, with more to come!

Chris LaDuca

Executive Director

Chris recently joined the team in 2024, but has been connected with Outside the Bowl for many years. While missions pastor for Christ’s Church in Roswell, NM for 15 years, he supported OTB and partnered with them to build a Super Kitchen in Juarez. His heart for the people in Mexico began when he and his wife, Kim, directed a ministry for 4 years building houses for families in Juarez.

His heart is to empower local Christian leaders throughout the world to feed and disciple more children, and for the children to experience the love of God and learn the value they have as children of God as they receive these meals.
