As he grew in his ability to have meaningful conversations using the national language of the B.I. people, Mike developed a small network of key relationships. These people have since become Mike’s close friends, and he genuinely enjoys hanging out with them!
In 2023 Mike began working as an English teacher at the Education Foundation. This role not only allows him to help the local people develop their English language skills, but is also necessary for him to have a reason to stay long-term in South East Asia.
Some of Mike’s local friends also work at the language centre, which gives him the opportunity to live out Kingdom values in front of them. One of Mike’s goals is to develop deep trust and respect with his friends at the language centre, so that he might have fruitful conversations about the Kingdom with them too.
As Mike looks to the future, he hopes to deepen his relationships with the B.I. people even further. This will involve learning the heart language of the B.I. people, which will enable Mike to have deeper conversations with his local friends.
Mike is also committed to further deepening his relationship with Jesus. His relationship with God is the foundation of all he does in South East Asia. Please pray with Mike to see vibrant faith communities following Jesus in their own distinctive ways in South East Asia.
