Their passion and heart is to reach the unreached peoples of their region, planting multiplying churches among them, and to show God’s love to the poor and needy in their city. Its their dream that as people in these communities encounter Jesus, their lives, their families and ultimately their community would be radically transformed. That dream is starting to become reality and they are excited to see it continue to unfold!
The Andersons ministered in Nepal for the first 10 years of their missionary career doing church planting and training of national workers. In 2001 they moved to Siliguri, West Bengal, India where they have been leading the Frontier Missions work of YWAM since that time. They have been involved in the training of cross cultural Indian missionaries for work among the unreached in China, Bhutan, Cambodia as well as India. They have pioneered a ministry to the poor and needy in the urban slums of their city resulting in several house churches among both Bengali and Bihari peoples. They are also involved in a ministry to widows and malnourished children in those communities.

The population of Germany is currently 84 Million plus and has grown significantly through the influx of refugees from the Middle-East, Africa and most recently from Ukraine. We live in a small town surrounded by over 300.000 residents, yet there is not a Pentecostal church within a 50 kilometer radius. We desire to see this changed.

Japan has 127 million people but less than 1% is Christian. We minister in Fukuoka city a 2.2 million. Japan is considered an Unreached People group by AGWM
Cameroon has a population of 28.3M people. The city of Douala is 4.06M, and 59% of that is Urban. Cameroon's Christianity is 70.7%. The Muslim faith is 24.4%. Followed by 4.9% that represent Traditional faiths. There has not been an Assemblies of God missionary in Douala since the late 1980s, so we will be pioneering something new in Douala. The National Church Leadership and General Superintendent, Clement Sokeng, has invited us to plant an Urban Tribes Church and equip the nationals to lead the way moving forward.

Estonia is a small country, about 1/5 the size of Minnesota with just 1.3 million people. About 400,000 of them live in Tallinn, the city we live and work in. Estonia is one of the least religious countries in the world. Only 14 percent believe religion has any influence on their lives, and less than 1 percent are Evangelical Christian (Pentecostal, Baptist, or Methodist). After centuries of various occupations, Estonia was established as a country in 1918, but Soviet and Nazi occupations would follow. Estonia regained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The country is around 70 percent Estonian and 20 percent Russian, although some border cities are up to 90 percent Russian. Despite such a difficult past, Estonia leads the way technologically. Skype, Pipedrive, and Wise were all born in Estonia, and it's not uncommon to see delivery robots pass by on the sidewalk.
The International Assemblies of God in South Africa has approximately 340 churches. The IAG has a mammoth job to reach more people and plant more churches in South Africa.One of the most effective and substantial ways to accomplish this and to engage the ever increasing population of 64 million people in South Africa in through a healthy local pastor leading a healthy and thriving local church. Healthy pastors lead churches into greater health, which reach more people and plant more churches. This is the desire and goal of the Healthy Pastor Healthy Church initiative.
Most of the people that we minister to come from very simple educational/vocational backgrounds with low to modest income. Many of them live in rural areas or low-income neighborhoods in various cities. Some even live in very remote Amazonian villages with limited services (i.e., electricity, access to medical care, etc.). Even though they may be “simple” folks by our American standards, we know they are full of potential!
