Mannah and I met in 2020. We studied at a missions training center and got married on October 30, 2021. After training for two years at the training center, the Lord helped us raise funds to travel to Bolivia to intern under veteran missionaries to conclude our training. During our 6-month internship in Bolivia, Mannah and I prayed about where the LORD would have us to take our next steps!

Choosing the right mission board took yielding to God’s leadership. This led to us attending Converge’s Missionary Discovery Assessment. Choosing the mission field was bittersweet because there is a need for a gospel movement throughout the world! After investing time in prayer, zoom meetings, and research, the LORD led us to the Nordic-Baltic Initiative. We’re super excited to see what doors God has opened!

While in the Northern Europe, we will have many goals and responsibilities. During the first 1.5 years on the field, learning the Estonian language will be the main ministry priority. This will include formal language learning through enrollment in courses or work with a tutor or language helper. We will apply what we learn in everyday life, such as conversations, church services, conducting business, and buying groceries. We will Identify and develop strategies for reaching new communities in North Estonia! We plan to engage in ministry within the local church while also be serving and equipping partnership churches and ministry leaders to effectively engage in the Great Commission within the Nordic-Baltic region!

Estonia is one of the least-religious countries in the world. Less than 2 percent are evangelical Christians.
