About Us

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.

The Family

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.

Ministry Stories

Did you know?

53 % of the Generation Z culture (those born between 1997-2012) see themselves as being missionaries as a vocation.

Those outside of Gen Z, only 20 - 30% will share their faith in their lifetime.

80% of Gen Z have shared their faith this past month.

Discipleship

One of our prayer goals of having a Communication and Culture course is to see our International students continue on as students to receive further training. This most recent school, Jiwon(Abigail), shared with us that she wanted to continue her training by returning next year to attend our Discipleship Training School (DTS). Pray for her faith to increase as she trusts the Lord for her visa to return to Texas, finances to pay for airfare, school fees, and outreach fees, and her personal needs while she is here.
