After teaching for 15 years as a special education teacher, God led Sharon into full-time ministry with OMF in April 2021 as a ministry coach. It has been her great joy to assess, mentor and walk alongside those who are on their journey towards serving East Asians long-term. As of January 2023, Sharon started coordinating short-term trips to East Asia, in addition to her role as a coach. She is so grateful for the opportunity to serve in this capacity with your partnership & support!
Since meeting Steven in December 2019, missions was always something that was important to the both of them. They started considering more intentionally serving on the mission field around November 2021. They started the application process feeling like Abram - not knowing where they would end up, but trusting that God would lead them along the way, to the land where they should go (Genesis 12:1). Through studying Scripture, prayer, and listening to God, the Lord has led them to serve the Chinese in Mexico. Steven has been mobilizing church teams, coordinating with some Bay Area churches and partnering with a missionary couple in Tijuana to reach this unreached people group. Please pray for the Lord to provide all that is needed for this pilot project to be approved and for all of the right supports to be in place. More updates to come!
"After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out loud with a loud voice, 'Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!'" Revelation 7:9-10
