Why Kyiv, Ukraine?
There was a need for a young couple to work with the Navigators and college students in this place.
What are your objectives?
We desire to meet with students at local universities and share life, English, and Jesus with them and for them to do that with others around them.
What is your strategy?
We use English discussions to connect with students in order to find those interested in spiritual topics. We also invite students into our home, so that we may live life with Jesus before them.
How can we pray for you?
For "good ground" as mentioned in the parable of the sower; for those who would hear and believe and having believed share their faith with others and unite together under our common faith.

Why Uganda?
There were countless numbers of ministry opportunities in Uganda and around the world. We felt this specific ministry opportunity really fit our ministry strengths. Throughout this process, God has been faithfully affirming us in our decision.
What are your objectives?
Our objective is to use our gifts and talents to meet the needs of the Uganda people, to build relationships, and ultimately, to share Christ and disciple new believers.
What is your strategy?
Our specific ministry strategy will be established once we have become better acquainted with the people and culture of Uganda. In the meantime, we are praying diligently and involving our family and friends in intentional prayer focused on the specific needs of the Uganda people.
How can we pray for you?
Pray that we faithfully walk in an intimate relationship with God.
Pray that our ministry will be effective in meeting the overwhelming spiritual and physical needs of the people of Uganda.

Why Tokyo, Japan?
We felt in our hearts that God was calling us to be an incarnational
witness to the Japanese people, for His glory.
What are your objectives?
We want to make God famous among the largest unreached people group in
the world.
What is your strategy?
Our strategy is to plant reproducing house churches among the Japanese
through our partnership with the International Mission Board.
How can we pray for you?
Please pray that our daily time with the Lord would be guarded, and that we would continue to see God work in amazing ways in Tokyo, Japan.

Why Middlesbrough, England?
I felt the Lord call me here, so I followed, and now this place and these people have my heart!
What are your objectives?
Isaiah 61 spells out my objectives concerning ‘proclaiming good news to the poor, binding up the brokenhearted and proclaiming freedom to the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners and those who mourn.’
What is your strategy?
My strategy is to live among the people and love them radically while continuing my college education in the area and working through relationships in ministry in conjunction with Youth for Christ in the area.
How can we pray for you?
Please pray for Vision for our project, an increasingly broken heart for those hurting in our midst, courage to break down barriers both in and outside of the church, and passion to fuel us when life makes us weary.

Why East Africa?
Over the past 8 years, God has been directing our steps to East Africa where the need is dire for outreach in health and children’s education.
What are your objectives?
Our objective is to help the desperately needy and lost for whom there is little hope outside of God's providing love and care while we seek to honor and glorify God.
What is your strategy?
We are aligning ourselves with an established 501(c)3 Christian charity called Rafiki Ministries that has a track record of success in 10 African countries while being respected and invited by African political and Christian leaders to be in their countries.
How can we pray for you?
There are several areas of need: a smooth transition away from business careers to Christian service; John's certification as a middle school teacher; Fund raising to cover our first 2 years in Africa; To connect with other Christians who would partner with us in prayer and support above and beyond the mere financial needs; God's peace, assurance, and governance in our lives as we prepare for this new adventure of service to others.
