About This Project

My husband, Scott, and I with our four children (Matthew, Joshua, Nathan and Alysha) served in Thailand from 1997-2011. In those years, we were involved in evangelism, discipleship and church planting in Lopburi province. For the last 3 years, we were dorm parents in Chiang Mai. In 2012, the Lord made it clear that He was calling us to work in the U.S. for a season. Scott became pastor of a small church - Faith Evangelical Free Church in Louviers, Colorado. Meanwhile, I worked at the OMF US headquarters in Littleton as Assistant to the Vice President of Personnel and US Child Safety Officer. In 2020, we moved to Bradenton, Florida to try to find Thailand weather :) In January 2021, I took on the role of International Facilitator for Third Culture Kid (TCK) Services. In this role, I work with about 40 TCK Advisors and 40 Child Safety Officers in 18 sending countries (US, Canada, South Korea, Germany, etc.) and 18 fields (Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, Laos, etc.) to provide support and care for over 955 missionary kids. My major foci are transitions, education and child safety. I am seeking to bring training and resources so that families thrive on the mission field and these precious kids are enabled to treasure their growing up years so that the work of reaching East Asians for Christ is not hindered, but strengthened.
