Ministering to Muslims in Southeast Asia alongside a team of believers united to see the gospel taken where it has never been before. They are among the most unreached regions in the world, and primarily in places where they have never even heard of the name of Jesus. Together, we will be trusting the Lord who is preparing people for his gospel message, to encounter them and boldly share with them, and in turn make disciple makers out of these individuals who say yes to following Jesus! We desire to see the unreached reached through the model Jesus gave us:…

Our Story: We got married in 2021 and the Lord started to draw us to missions. We had friends that were missionaries for 15 years that encouraged us to look into more training and tell stories of how God is moving in Southeast Asia. We started training and looking into missions in 2023, and we started learning that God's heart for the nations is shown in every book of the Bible. We learned that God has been bringing His people back to Him, and His desire is for every nation, tribe, and tongue to know Jesus. We originally thought the…
