Reaching the Lost, Strengthening the Church

We were appointed by WorldVenture in 2024 as global workers to Europe. Our mission is to partner with the local church, build meaningful relationships, and disciple new followers of Jesus.

We feel called to share the Gospel with Muslims in France who have little or no access to a Christian witness. We serve in a region of Paris with more than 200,000 people and only one evangelical church—an area where many people may go their entire lives without ever knowing a follower of Jesus.

How We Got Here:

In 2023, God used an earthquake in West Asia to grip our hearts for Muslims who are living without the hope of Christ and trying to know God through Islam. For many, it’s not that they’ve rejected the Gospel—they’ve never had the chance to hear it.

Deeply troubled by this, we began asking, “Is God calling us to go?”

This question led to many months of discernment, seeking biblical wisdom and guidance from our community. Eventually, we took a vision trip to West Asia and spent time with workers in several cities. Through this trip, God confirmed our calling as global workers and redirected us to a different field with more stable visa options. We began praying and seeking a place where our family could establish a long-term presence among Muslims who have little or no access to the Gospel. God’s answer was France.

Our Family:
Our family of three calls Arizona home. Jesse graduated from Phoenix Seminary in 2025 with a Master of Divinity, concentrating in Biblical and Theological Studies. With a heart for discipleship and a love for God’s Word, he seeks to help people grow in faith, maturity, and mission. Kylee has a background in professional health coaching and has completed counseling coursework at Phoenix Seminary. She cares deeply about community outreach, discipleship, and gospel-centered care. Judah, our 5-year-old, is our most important disciple and is easy to delight in.
