CEO
Joe Gisbey has been part of the Links family since 2003 when Rich Hubbard, former CEO, approached Joe with the invitation to join him as he traveled. Quickly his role developed and over the next few years, Joe worked alongside Rich, with a specific focus on Micro-Enterprise Development. In 2009 Joe and his family moved to South America to plant a church in the capital city of Bogota, Colombia. After his return in 2013, he rejoined the team as Project & Community Development Manager. He stepped into the role of CEO in April of 2017. Joe also works as part of the Core Leadership Team of Arun Church and teaches extensively both within his home church and churches around the UK. Having been dramatically healed and set free in his teens, Joe is passionate about seeing people made whole and the Kingdom of God break out around the world. He lives in Littlehampton on the South Coast of England, with his wife Carolina and their four children.
