Testimony

Robyn sensed the Lord’s call to mission while a teen at a Wesleyan Youth camp.

Jay came to faith as a young adult. His journey into mission evolved through small steps of obedience as a new Christian.

By working with His church, Jay & Robyn want to glorify the Lord by testifying to God’s grace in Jesus and reflecting His character to the nations. God has equipped them to do this through discipling mission workers and reaching out to those who have come to Australia.
