Since the beginning of our relationship, we felt that God was calling us to serve long-term as global workers. We were passionate to make the gospel known through evangelism and discipleship within our college ministry and wanted to take that passion overseas to help reach the least-reached. At that point, we lacked clarity on what this would look like and where it would take us.

We continued to pursue missions through attending a class called Perspectives that is about God’s heart for sharing the gospel with all nations. Our final project was to write a paper on how a people group who has never heard of Jesus could be engaged with the gospel. We somewhat randomly decided upon a people group in Thailand that we imagined we could go and share the gospel with someday. It was exciting to dream of reaching this group, though we did not actively pursue it after finishing the paper. Fast forward two years: a missionary couple from our church on a home visit from Thailand came to share their ministry stories. Their vision was to mobilize local churches to spread the gospel among the least-reached provinces of Thailand, including a special desire to reach the same unengaged people group we had studied. It was then clear that God used this “coincidence” to lead us to ministry in Thailand.

We are eager to join the Converge Thailand team to ignite a passion for the supremacy of Jesus Christ among people in the least-reached provinces of Northern Thailand. We hope to assist in starting Christ-centered churches and groups through identifying, equipping, and mobilizing Thai Christians who have a desire for intentional disciple-making and church planting.
