Elaine Watkins

Meet Ismael Asgarian

Director of Development

Ismael joined Stonecroft because he is passionate about the power of relational evangelism to transform communities and to introduce Christ as the center of the home. He lives in upstate New York with his wife and their three young children. When they aren’t traveling to visit family and friends, they can often be found hosting gatherings in their home, where they joyfully share their Greek, Persian, and Filipino cultures in meals at the table. In his free time, Ismael enjoys exploring the vast state lands that surround their property.

As Director of Development, Ismael seeks to inspire hearts and minds to support the mission and impact of Stonecroft. He brings over 10 years of professional development experience and a lifetime of relational evangelism to champion the Gospel and the power of women-led ministry. Ismael earned his B.A. in Political Science from Rhode Island College, where he focused on nonprofit studies and international NGOs.

For Ismael, his greatest calling is to prepare his children for life’s challenges by nurturing in them a deep love and understanding of the Gospel. He is continually humbled by the generosity and wisdom of Stonecroft’s supporters and inspired by their faithful commitment to serve Christ and His message within their communities.
