Our Journey: A Heart for the Nations

For over 30 years, God has given us the privilege to serve His Kingdom in unique and transformative ways. We pastored a church in the U.S. for 13 years, then spent eight unforgettable years in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, working alongside the local church, discipling leaders, and sharing the love of Christ in a challenging cross-cultural context. 

These experiences laid the foundation for the work we do today.

New Opportunity

We incubate gospel-centered, locally led businesses in strategic global cities. As a certified Growability® Business/Nonprofit Consultant, each founder receives coaching, light milestone-based funding, and compliance + family care so they can launch faster, hire locally, and sustain credible witness in the marketplace.

Serving Missionaries in Southeast Asia

As Regional Directors for Southeast Asia, we have the privilege of serving and supporting 20+ cross-cultural workers and their families. These dedicated men and women and their families are spread across the region, serving in a variety of innovative and impactful ways. Our role is to care for them holistically—helping them thrive spiritually, emotionally, and practically in their ministry contexts.

Ministries We Directly Support!

Here are examples of the ministries we oversee and encourage in Southeast Asia:

  • Lisu Pastor and Church Planter: A faithful couple planting Anglican churches in the hills of Northern Thailand, discipling and nurturing a vibrant Lisu community.
  • The Wheelchair Project: The largest distributor of mobility equipment in Asia, sharing the love of Jesus with every recipient. Remarkably, this ministry is recognized and blessed by Thailand’s Buddhist king.
  • Prosperous Youth Foundation: A team working with hundreds of vulnerable Thai youth, providing discipleship and demonstrating Christ’s love in tangible ways.
  • Indigenous Ministry in the Philippines: A family holistically serving the Ati people through discipleship, education, and practical care.
  • Business as Mission (BAM): Several families creatively engaging in Myanmar and Thailand, using businesses to create jobs, build relationships, and share the Gospel.

Our Role: Care, Connection, and Encouragement

Our ministry centers on walking alongside these workers, ensuring they feel supported and valued in their calling. Through regular communication, in-person visits, and practical help with strategic planning, we aim to be a safe and steady presence in their lives. We help missionaries stay focused, encouraged, and effective in their work of building God’s Kingdom.

Your Partnership: Joining the Story

We believe this work is not ours alone—it belongs to the Body of Christ. By supporting us, you are directly impacting the lives of missionaries across Southeast Asia and the communities they serve. Together, we make Christ known to the nations.

Would you prayerfully consider partnering with us in this ministry? Your prayers and financial support make it possible for us to continue this work and expand into new areas of opportunity.

Help Us Reach Our Monthly Support Goal

We currently have about $600 per month in support and are trusting God to increase this to $2,000 per month. Would you consider a monthly partnership with us? Any amount is deeply appreciated and will go directly toward supporting our work as Regional Directors in Southeast Asia + our work with BAM incubators. 

Your partnership enables us to care for cross-cultural workers, expand impactful ministries, and further God’s Kingdom in this region.
