Todd & Joan H.

Southern Thailand

Supported Since 2022

Todd & Joan joined a team in Southern Thailand and focus their efforts on the Pattani Malay, a unique Muslim people group who are among the least reached. They strive to reach them by living in a God-honoring way, by building relationships, and by working with a Christian non-profit organization to meet community needs while sharing the gospel.

 Let’s Pray

• Praise God that we have been able to get some portions of Scripture into the Pattani Malay language using Thai letters, the first that this has ever been done that we know of.  We have already test-read this with several families and it has proved both readable and impactful.  Pray for the rest of the NT to be done efficiently and accurately.
• We have gotten involved with a very small Muslim Montessori grade school that was seeking a native English teacher.  Pray for Joan as she has volunteered to teach in the afternoons. JJ goes with her as he enjoys learning there with the other kids.
• We continue to talk to two couples - Aaron and Johana, and Dylan and April about possibly joining our team in the next two years. Pray that God would move their hearts to do so as we think they both would do very well and be a good fit with us.
• Pray for our Visa adventures.  We will be traveling to Indonesia on Oct 21 to apply for a Thai Digital Nomad visa from the Thai Embassy there.  This will take about a month. God has coordinated it with a training we will be attending as well as a prayer conference, both in the same country.
• Please pray for our family to handle spiritual warfare well, to quench it with our faith as a shield.
• Praise God our church family and your prayers and incredible support.
• Praise that Amie is doing well & serving Jesus in North Thailand with YWAM.

Missions has been a part of our DNA from the very beginning!

1964 our first full time missionary was sent.

1966 we hosted our first missions conference.

Presently we support over 40 missionaries near and far. They include church planters, college campus ministries, international ministry, and training / discipling / mobilizing.

Who are our missionaries?

First of all we call our missionaries, "Global Partners". We consider our support of them a partnership, and we take it seriously! We pray for them continually and strive to keep in touch with them so that we can remain involved in their work. Their stories are amazing!

Grace Church Global Partners are young adults just heading out on the mission field. They are couples and families choosing to live in other countries to form relationships so they can share the gospel. They are individuals entrenched on college campuses. They are seasoned workers of God who have spent their whole lives in service to Him to share the love of Jesus and further His Kingdom. And they are people who live and work in their neighborhoods and churches to share the salvation of Jesus Christ in their own countries.

How do we support our missionaries?

No money is used from the operating budget of Grace Church to support our Global Partners.

The financial support for all our Global Partners comes directly from the generous family of Grace Church. Pledges are made in the fall of each year to help the GO Team oversee the yearly budget and make decisions on support.

Are there other ways Grace Church fulfills the command of  Matthew 28:19?                                                 YES! The GO Team supports
