Clever Masvimbo, President
Clever was born in Zimbabwe in the capital city of Harare. He lived in the city for only a few years before moving to a remote village called Mhondoro. He attended primary school and then worked different jobs as a teen trying to earn a living and support his family.
In 2001 Clever gave his life to the Lord, and this was the turning point of his life. He moved to the city and became involved in ministry and serving others. Due to the hardship of his country, he was forced to move to South Africa and then to Swaziland were he continued to serve God as a missionary.
Clever attended Swaziland College of Theology and later on went to be trained by Floyd McClung at All Nations. Clever has a passion for serving God in areas like prison ministry, homelessness, and orphan and widow care. Clever is married to his wonderful wife Rumbi and they have 2 beautiful daughters Carissa and Haylee.
Mike Dieringer, Advisory Board Member
Mike grew up in a rural Midwest farming community and moved to southern California in his early 20’s shortly after graduating college to work in the aerospace industry. After experiencing a prolonged season of personal difficulties, he turned to God and was saved at the age of 30. Shortly after, God gave him insight into the needs of the Law Enforcement Community with a vision to minister to them not only by designing products to help them better perform their work, but to “speak” to Officers on a personal level by always behaving with a servant attitude. His employees now carry on with that same vision – which Mike strongly believes is why God has blessed him so abundantly since he received Christ.
Mike is an avid bow hunter and lover of God’s creation. He also enjoys fishing, skiing, hiking, travel, and being grandpa to Colton. Through his personal struggles and trials Mike has continued to persevere and remains determined to continue along a path of growth with the goal of becoming a mighty follower of Jesus. He is committed to a life-long pursuit of leading by example and growing into a stronger and more impactful man of God.
God has given Mike a heart for the orphan and the widow. He strongly believes in the Straightways vision and has committed not only his time, but his personal finances. His vested interest drives him to assure the Straightways organization always operates with transparency and is above reproach.
