Eric and Mollie

serving in chad, africa

Eric, Mollie and their family live in Chad, Africa. Eric is a doctor and is working at the clinic in the village of Am Timam, as well as visiting villages for relationship building, healthcare, and outreach purposes. The area is 99% Muslim. The team's ultimate goal is to plant churches in Am Timam and the surrounding areas.

dave and rebecca

Chicago and beyond

After living in SE Asia since 1995, training, discipling, and encouraging Southeast Asian Christians to reach out to their Muslim neighbors, this family has relocated to the Chicagoland area to reach out to the 500,000 Muslims living there. They continue to also disciple Muslim background Christians in SE Asia through regular trainings and trips. Their goal is that churches are planted, and ultimately, that Christ's name is praised and worshipped among the Muslim people of Southeast Asia and in the Chicagoland area.

Szabolcs Kerekes

Serving in Hungary

By building relationships where communication, honesty, and caring for others are valued, Szabolcs reaches out to both teens and adults who are skeptical of Christ and Christianity. Szabolcs is a sought after trainer for church leaders and pastors, and has written very cutting-edge ministry books for the Hungarian church.
