Serving in South East Asia

Jan is preparing to serve with the Baptist Mission Australia team in South East Asia.

She became a follower of Jesus when she was just 13 years old, and has had a heart for God’s mission throughout her entire life.

Jan has always been interested in finding out what makes people tick. She wanted to be an intercultural team member in her twenties, however God told her “not yet”. In the past, Jan worked in schools and hospitals as a social worker. During that time, she served in short-term mission on two different teams. This ignited her desire to serve interculturally.

After much prayer and discernment, Jan believes God is calling her to serve in South East Asia at this time in her life. She has experienced a joy and peace with the prospect of living in a culture very different from her own. She is looking forward to learning the culture and language so that she can come alongside people in South East Asia, develop relationships and find opportunities to share the good news of Jesus with those who may otherwise never hear it.

Jan is excited to see how God will use her social work skills, love for people, and interest in social justice to further His Kingdom and draw people of all nations to Himself.

Through their day-to-day life, Jean-Claude and Joyce are engaging with people wholistically, responding to their spiritual and physical needs.

Jean-Claude and Joyce share a passionate love for God and people and desire to see the Yawo follow Jesus within their cultural context. They are building relationships with their Yawo neighbours and investing in their culture and language learning with a local language nurturer so they can effectively communicate with their Yawo friends.

They are grateful for the prayers and financial support they receive as they actively seek to build meaningful relationships amongst the Yawo and see communities transformed as they follow Jesus in ways that make sense to them.
