Paul & Jackie

Special Needs Ministry & Church Planting  

Paul and Jackie moved to Central Asia in July of 2023 to minister to special needs children, teens, and their parents. Since then, they have been working diligently in language studies, building relationships with their ministry partners, and establishing community in their new field location. In a culture that marginalizes the disabled, they are part of a team that teaches these kids that they are valued by God and are precious in His sight. Since most of these children come from single parent homes, Paul focuses on building relationships with them so that they have a male role model whose strength and joy is in the Lord. Jackie uses her teaching gifts to share the gospel of hope with teens and parents alike. Paul and Jackie are hoping to reach and recruit more national volunteers to assist them in leading programming for their groups of young adults with disabilities. 

Prayer Requests: 

• Pray that Paul and Jackie will be diligent as they pursue learning their new language.  
• Pray for faithfulness as Paul and Jackie work to develop national leaders to lead programming and build relationships with participants. 
• Pray that the Lord will use Paul and Jackie to bear eternal fruit among the people whom they serve in Central Asia.
