This is why we are missionaries:

We love the nations and some of our best memories include serving in places like Egypt, Nepal, Fiji, Cambodia... and many more. We've never been on an outreach we didn't love or to a nation that didn't capture our heart. The bottom line is that God has changed our lives in a way that compels us to want to partner with Him to be agents of change on the earth.

OUR DREAM is to see every man, woman, and child meet Jesus and know His kindness and redemption. If they meet Him, they will love Him.

OUR DREAM is to see the multitudes set free in the reality and the truth of their identity in Jesus.

OUR DREAM is to see young people released into missions from all over the world into all of the world, pursuing God's dreams for them.

OUR DREAM is to see Mongolian missionaries in Jordan, Japanese missionaries in Kazakstan, Thai missionaries in Morocco, Bangladeshi missionaries in Bhutan, Australian missionaries in Yemen, Chinese missionaries in Palestine...

OUR DREAM is to facilitate a way for young people to rise and become a voice for those who suffer from injustice issues, heartache, and hopelessness.

OUR DREAM is to see change come through the hands and feet and voices of our churches and governments to make a difference on the earth where there is poverty, famine, disease, oppression, and devastation.

OUR DREAM is to raise and disciple a family and see our children and grandchildren become world changers for God.

OUR DREAM is to see Jesus face to face.

In a month’s time we’ll be moving house! But first, some history… Late last year God began speaking to us about getting a house. We were hazy on the details but we began to pray and seek the Lord about what this meant for us. Though we felt that buying… Continue

Celebrating 32

I had a great birthday last week… despite Ryan being away in New Zealand. Friends here made it such a special day, complete with flowers, coffee and doughnuts at morning tea, and an amazing progressive dinner party with all my favourite foods at Shey, Emma & Fiona, and Robyn’s houses…. Not to mention a wonderful cello performance from the beautiful Carla. I also had a surprise virtual birthday party with Ryan’s team in NZ over video skype where they brought out a cake laden with candles, san… Continue

Outreach begins in a matter of hours...

DTS lecture phase has come to a sweet end. Ryan and I were reflecting at dinner last night over the last three months and recounting some of the great things God has done in our own lives, and also the many things He’s done right before our eyes in so many others’ lives. What a great ride! We’re grateful to have journeyed this road together.

This afternoon Ryan leaves for New Zealand with his outreach team; I will join them in two weeks’ time. Thanks to all who have prayed for us and supported… Continue
