Based in Chiang Mai with two children, Ruby and Libby, who are both in secondary school, we have been seconded to Overseas Mission Fellowship (OMF) in Thailand since 2012 to help enable others to fulfil their calling. OMF supports mission across the region, particularly in church planting and encouraging church growth among minority ethnic groups across national borders.

Jason: As area personnel manager, I support OMF leadership and mission partners in East Asia. During the pandemic this involved crisis management – supporting many partners displaced and unable to return to their country of service due to travel restrictions, as well as developing contingency plans for responding to a changed mission climate.

Tracy: I am a housewife and mum. As part-time child safety officer, I help OMF mission partners navigate questions around child protection, helping ensure the safety of mission partners’ children. I lead a Sunday school team at the international church we attend and two prayer teams, one for the school our daughters attend and one on Zoom to pray for the UK.

We are dorm parents for home-schooled mission family teenagers who come one week a month for face-to-face classes. This enables their parents, missionaries throughout the region, to serve in remote areas without schools for their children.
