Ministry Description
Our vision is to see a church planting movement begin among families in Thailand and spread throughout their communities. As we do life alongside families in Thailand we will prayerfully implement Biblical disciple making methods that we believe will result in disciples that make disciples. We will study God’s Word alongside them in their native language while encouraging and modeling obedience to His Word. We believe this will result in stronger families that stay together and transformed communities that reflect God’s heart for all people.
Ministry Calling
After serving in youth and children’s ministry for many years we stepped out and went on a number of short term mission’s trips in 2011. The experiences on those trips impacted us deeply. Our faith was challenged and a desire to see God’s kingdom grow throughout the world was sparked within us. Over the next few years we prayed and asked God for direction and in 2014 we set out to follow His leading and move to Thailand.
Family Life
Hello! We, Jason and Kerri, along with our four children, Faith, Rylan, Addison, and Eaden have been living in Thailand since 2014. Jason grew up in Canada, Kerri in the Boston area. We met and were married in the Washington DC area were we lived for a number of years and had two of our kids. Kerri was in the Navy which took us to Hawaii for 3 years where Addison and Eaden were born. It was in Hawaii that God led us to go on a number of short term missions trips. After 12 years active duty Kerri got out and we relocated to the Savannah area. We were a part of the launch of the Statesboro Campus and at the same time God was speaking to us about pursuing full time mission service in Thailand.
Faith is our oldest and loves art, playing the piano and reading. She also likes to bake for us. Rylan loves anything music, he’s been playing the drums for a few years, loves to build things, and loves to read. Addison is an inquisitive kid who likes to build things and figure out how things work. Addison also enjoys playing hymns on the piano. Eaden is our youngest and she likes to bring a party wherever she goes. She loves riding her bike fast and roller blading. She makes a friend wherever she goes. Our whole family enjoys camping, reading and playing games.
