Who We Are
Helping underground believers spread the gospel
We are an American family living in Asia for the past 6 years. We lead a ministry called Underground where we help believers, who facing the threat of persecution for their faith, spread the gospel to those who’ve never heard the Good News of Jesus. Our work is only possible because of our faithful prayer support community and monthly financial partners.
Our Underground Prayer Support Community
Join the Underground
We would like to invite you to join our Underground Prayer Community by signing up for our newsletter.
In our newsletter, we will share:
Serving as Senders
God doesn’t call everyone to go overseas. But everyone can be involved in the life of a missionary family.
Would you be a part of ours?
Serving as a home-based sender through prayer is crucial to the health of a missionary family and the success of their overseas ministry.
Danger of Being Online
What we do can’t be done openly.
We personally know people whom we love who have been arrested, interrogated, and imprisoned. Foreigners who were arrested and deported — banned from the country they were sent to love and serve.
Because of this, we can’t reveal our identity online or share about our work on social media.
Instead, we send out a regular newsletter to our prayer community.
Our Heroes
Our prayer community is vital to our ministry.
We have faced deep discouragement, stress, fears, and the list could go on and on.
The members of our prayer community are our greatest encouragers. They are our heroes. Together, we have seen God do many miracles!
Paul the Apostle
Paul told his missionary prayer community:
“he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers.” (2 Cor 1:10-11)
Paul understood the vital need for prayer. He was always asking for prayer for himself and his ministry because he knew the power of prayer.
“Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.” (2 Cor 1:11)
Paul is saying there will be souls saved because of answers to prayer for Paul’s ministry.
If Paul needed a prayer community faithfully praying for him, we know we do too.
“The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective.” (James 5:16)
“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” — Luke 10:2
Our STORY
Where you go I’ll go.
In 2013, we were living a pretty normal American life, getting ready to have our 5th child. We had extensive ministry experience as leaders in multiple existing churches and church plants.
But the Holy Spirit began to place a burden inside we could not ignore. He showed us the most unreached peoples in the world.
It was like He shoved a sword into our hearts. He was saying to us: Unless they hear, they perish. Who will go?
And we said yes.
Yes, to see the kingdom of God break into unreached people groups in Asia.
And for the past 6 years, that is what we have done.
We do this through developing missional communities of practice where we train, mentor, and co-labor together in the harvest.
We have focused on equipping near-culture believers living out their faith under the threat of persecution to:
– spread the gospel,
– make disciples,
– and plant churches among the unreached.
We have also begun to work on co-developing training resources that serve the local need for equipping.
In East and Southeast Asia, there are over 300 million unreached Muslims
We have created the Underground Prayer Community which is made up of prayer warriors that partner with us to ask God to breakthrough as we encounter one obstacle after another.
We invite you to join our prayer support community — a crucial key to our ability to minister and see breakthroughs in Asia.
