Paul and Jackie
Central Asia
Special Needs Ministry & Church Formation
Child: Lucy
Paul and Jackie moved to Central Asia in July 2023 to minister to special needs children, teens, and their parents. In a culture that marginalizes the disabled, they are part of a team that teaches these kids that they are valued by God and precious in His sight. In addition to their ongoing work with Capernaum, Paul and Jackie recently launched a new church plant, where Paul is the primary pastor and Jackie disciples the women leaders using her teaching gifts. Alongside this, they continue meeting with local leaders to encourage and equip them in their faith. They welcomed their daughter, Lucy, in 2025 and are learning to balance ministry and family life.
