Children and education have been my passions since I was small. Since the early '90s I have been blessed to serve as a missionary in many countries in the area of education.  Starting a school for children with special needs in Central Asia, writing curriculum with YWAM to be used globally, and spending time on six continents doing teacher training, helping to start school, working with parents, and helping others grown in their ability to lead and train has been such a blessing.

 In 2025 we will continue to focus on biblical teacher training, starting schools, and working with families.  Literacy will be a key component as we train classroom teachers, community volunteers, and older students to help students become literate.  The literacy rates in many countries is very low.  They struggle to get materials and with extremely large class sizes.  We have developed a training program and classroom materials to quickly get students reading and thinking.  

Other focuses for 2025 include working with parents and families, special education and early childhood.  So many have the desire to help their own nations but need a little help to get started. More and more church leadership and country governments are expressing interest in changing their education systems. Our leadership team has had opportunities in several African nations this year to work at this level.  We are still working at local levels as well with concerned citizens who want to make a difference in their communities.  That is the area I most like to focus on because it is such a blessing to see their hearts and minds open to the possibilities that God shows them. 

Funds donated will be used for our living and ministry expenses.  In order to go to the places where people are asking us to do training and help start schools we need plane tickets, visas, and living expenses.  Your donation will allow us to continue this work and be able to say yes to those asking for help.
