I heard one word from  God, “Go,” and that is when I knew it was time for our family to leave East Asia, where we are from, and devote our lives to missionary work. We were unsure of where and what God had for us, but we ended up working in Africa for two years. Toward the end of our time there, we felt God had us moving somewhere else. In 2016, God led us to Aland and we worked doing business through agriculture and were reaching Muslim people. We served there for four and a half years and at that point I was introduced to a new missions model. 

In 2021, my family learned about DMM (Disciple Making Movement), through this model I understood the deeper meaning of the Great Commission, “Make Disciples of All Nations.” I realized my family had moved to Aland not to make friends or do ministry work, but to make disciples. 

Our family began to fast and pray through the month of Ramadan in 2020 and we decided to resign from the company we were at and change to a new country and work full-time making disciples of Jesus. We were thankful that the Lord had used the previous years to prepare us and train us for what was ahead. In Africa, we learned to be “as innocent as doves and as shrewd as snakes.” In Aland, we learned to be “sheep among wolves.”  Please prayerfully consider partnering with our family as we transition our work into becoming full-time disciple-makers.
