Missionaries Serving with Youth With a Mission
Tyler, Texas

With 35+ years experience serving in Youth With A
Mission, we have trained and released many people,
like ourselves into areas of the world the Lord has
directed them to.

Through discipleship, training, mobilization and
sustaining efforts this generation is communicating the
love of Jesus every where they go.

One of areas of preparation we see of importance for
this International community of believers is giving them
the understanding of the English language. This helps
them communicate at a more universal level in the
market place. Whether we are online or in person, we
see that many people today have a desire to speak and
comprehend English as a needed language to know.
May this provided tool lead to conversations that bring
people to a saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ.

We have seen many foreigners from all parts of the
world, especially from South Korea, come to learn
English as well as become fellow missionaries, like
ourselves, who desire to fulfill the Great Commission.

We have been blessed with four
adopted children, from three
different nations. All learning to
share their lives with each other
and have families of their own.

We are a blended family, all
learning to live life together. We
can say the road has not been
easy but by the grace of God, we
have had to push through our
differences and been able to
overcome lifes obstacles.
Especially pray for the seven
grandchildren, whose lives are so
precious.

The Dhaiso People of Tanzania have been blessed.

Providing the basic necessities, such as water, use
to be a possible all day process for the women of
the village in the past to go find water.

Today, fresh drinking water gives the people more
time and potentially healthier lives. This act of
generosity has given an open door' to share the
love of Christ to this predominately Muslim village.

One of our partners, had the opportunity to share
from John 4 about Jesus meeting the woman at
