Zambia
The first campsite of Jane Marie's first expedition and JJ's first expedition he ever led. You guessed it, it is where the love story began.

Here is where JJ and I completed our Advanced Mission Training. JJ in 2013 and myself in 2016. In 2020, it is also where we will move to begin our training in directing Advanced Mission Training in Zambia.
JJ also served as an expedition leader in Zambia in 2015 and 2016.
Cambodia
A country on the border of Loas and Thailand. Cambodia is where JJ and I first did ministry together overseas. We spent 6 months there in 2017, 2 months in 2018, and we are to live there this year from April to September. In 2019, we arrived in April and will be in the country till the end of September.
We love the Khmer people. This will be a nation that we always pray for and fight for as the missionaries and churches on the ground work together to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to the Kingdom of Cambodia.
Together, we have led five expeditions in Cambodia and JJ led three as a single man in 2015.
Brazil
On the Amazon River, we sailed and lived with Sector Missionaries in the Overland Mission's boats to villages who had very little understanding of Jesus Christ.
While there we led two expeditions spearheading long-term ministry for our co-workers and Sector Missionaries the Province and Dolan Family.
Vietnam
In 2017, with a small team, we took part of a reconnaissance surveying Vietnam starting from the northern city of Sapa to the southern city of Saigon.
In 2018 as a result of this reconnaissance, Overland launched the first expeditions in Vietnam. These expeditions worked alongside local church leaders. Please pray for the laborers to rise up who is willing to live in this country full-time to work with the local leaders to bring the Kingdom of God.
In 2019, we led a team into southern Vietnam and worked alongside locals. Our favorite memory was the relationship built with local leaders. Hearing their stories and learning about their faith through endless persecution left us in awe. We were honored to work alongside them. Please pray for the persecuted Christians in this communist country.

In March 2019, JJ, myself, and our co-worker and good friend Courtney W. went to Poland for a reconnaissance.
JJ met our main contact Kamil (far left, first photo) at Dr. Rodney Howard Browne's leadership conference in Tampa. This meeting led us to travel to Poland to visit Kamil and create a strategic plan to reach the people of Poland with the Gospel.
Out of the 38,000,000 people, there are only 40,000 protestants. Pastor Kamil's church was the only protestant church within 100 kilometers. Piotre (far right, first picture), is the president of the school we visited and stayed at. It is the only theological school in Poland with full-time students. Some students traveled 8 hours by train just to make it to class!
