Debbie Richards, Japan
In 1995, Debbie went to Chiba, Japan short-term with the MTW IMPACT program and ministered for three years with the Tokyo/Chiba church-planting team through its English Outreach program. Impressed by the tremendous spiritual need of the Japanese people, Debbie returned to Chiba in 2001 for long-term missionary service with MTW. In addition to teaching English classes, her ministry activities include serving as pianist for two of the church plants and participating in the music ministry (church choir) at Honda Chapel.
The spread of the gospel in Japan faces many obstacles, and the Japanese response is typically slow. However, the Tokyo/Chiba team is encouraged by every person who turns to Christ and by the spiritual growth among believers. In reliance upon God, the team is praying for and striving toward the goal of seeing a church-planting movement take hold in the country of Japan.
Chris and Marie Stevanus, Thailand
PIONEERS is a well established and well respected mission organization whose priority is church planting among unreached people groups. We are grateful for the leadership, accountability, and community that they offer us as we move to join them in what God is doing in Thailand. Pioneers does not yet have a team in northern Thailand focused on anti-human trafficking so we will be starting our own. For now our team will partner with various local ministries in order to learn from their experience in planting churches in Thailand, as well as impacting the reality of sex trafficking
