Bethany

My name is Bethany, and I live with my wonderful husband in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Our home is St. Croix, and our ministry centers around working and teaching at a private school on island. We are both in our mid-twenties and though we don’t have our own children, we are surrounded by the families our our fellow team members. I love literature, coffee, friends, and long afternoons spent at the beach.

Jenifer

My name is Jenifer. I am currently serving in Northern Zambia along the shores of Lake Tanganyika. I grew up in Canada, lived in the southern United States and served in Northern Italy. I love living along the water and spending my holidays nestled in my hammock with a good book.

Lisa

I am a homeschooling mama of four, ages 10-4. My husband is teaching History and International Relations courses at LCC International University. After teaching here for a sabbatical year in 2009-2010, we have taken a HUGE leap into long-term service and have just moved here permanently (whatever that means) in August of 2015. We are busy transitioning, taking language classes, catching up on “regular” school work, and whatever else comes our way. We are committed to ministry with students, other expats at the school, our landlords (who live downstairs) and whoever else God sends to us.

Tawni

Tawni Sattler is a missionary living in Vienna, Austria with her husband and two sons. Her husband teaches secondary math at an international school while Tawni pretends to be a real-life blogger and tries to keep their sons alive every day. Tawni also leads worship with her husband most Sundays at a bi-lingual, international church. She considers herself über blessed, and is thankful that God chose such a beautiful city for her family to do His work in. If you need her, you can find Tawni drinking coffee and eating ice cream while she paints, letters, or writes her next piece for her blog and shop, the life in between.

Elizabeth

My name is Elizabeth and I’m in (what is hopefully) the last phase of support raising! As soon as I reach full support I will be serving with Greater Europe Mission out of our office in Kandern, Germany.

Kim Simpson

Single, early 30s, love my pup, good coffee, niece and nephews, and Jesus (not in that order, of course!)  Lived in central Mexico for two years, then moved to Vancouver 6+ years ago to church plant on university campuses.  God is allowing our team to reach the nations from campuses right here in Canada!

Erin

Location: Southeast Asia Region: Southeast Asia

Rachel

My husband and I (married since Sept. 2010) came to Korca Albania in October of 2013.  We have a 3 year old daughter and a 4 month old son.  We are here with an Albanian family and are in the beginning stages of a milk processing business.  Businesses are not run with integrity and honesty here, and this is a pioneering venture.  We desire to be ministers of Jesus Christ through this business and through our every day lives (we’ll see how HE leads!).

Annalisa

I’m Annalisa.  I entered the mission field when I was 25, single, and really inexperienced.  Now I am 30, married to a local, and have been much better equipped via a lot of guidance from locals.

Katie McMahon

Hi my name is Katie, I just recently graduated from collage and decided to move to Uganda to serve as a teacher through an organization called Healing Faith.

Brittany Sprague

Living and working in Helsinki, Finland while supporting fellow church planters.

Andrea

If you’d have told me five years ago that I’d be in the heart of Central America sharing the heart of Christ, I would have laughed out loud! Yet, here I am! (Ain’t God grand!?!)

My husband and I and our family moved to Guatemala in July of 2014 after a whirlwind adventure of preparation, which included my total healing from a chronic pain condition. (Praise the Lord!!)

Along with our three daughters (15, 11, and 8), we’re doing our very best everyday to share the gospel, shine for Jesus, and bring glory to God.
