Our Story
We believe that knowing Jesus and staying connected to him are the most important things in life (Matthew 7, John 15). Mission (doing things FOR God) is the natural fruit of abiding in Christ (spending time WITH God). Of course, when we are constantly connected we can do things FOR God while WITH God. What a privilege and responsibility!
We met in college where we did eight short-term mission trips between us. That led to two years teaching English and studying Mandarin in Taiwan, which led to seminary for Tim and grad school for Melissa. Then we worked with youth in a Chinese church for five years.
GEM entered the picture and, after studying at CIT, we spent four years in Ireland, including learning our second new language as adults. For the last eight years we have served in training at CIT where Tim was the Director of the Equipping program for new missionaries over the last couple years.
Where We Work
During the fall of 2024 we are in a new season of Ministry Partner Development! Support raising, fund raising, whatever you call it, we invite you to become a "cheerful giver"!
This season of development will make it possible for us to serve with GEM through 2028. Please consider investing in this team and sharing in the fruit to come. The ROI is eternal!
