Daniel and Carla

Daniel came to know Jesus and follow Him before he can remember. “I’ll do anything for you, God—just not missions” was common in his prayers until he surrendered that last phrase while serving at a Bible camp. 10 months later, he served as a teaching missionary in a country he’d barely heard of. That experience transformed Daniel’s perspective and he’s been wrecked for the ordinary ever since.

Carla learned about Jesus from her mom, and she believed it was good to follow God. In college, an American teacher explained to her the meaning of the Gospel, which moved Carla to eagerly accept Jesus. After graduating, she saw how temporary her field’s achievements were, so Carla resolved to labor for the eternal kingdom instead. Carla sees her calling in walking alongside others and participating in the transformation of lost souls being restored to Jesus.

My Current Role
Daniel & Carla are working in a marginalised “Creative Access” nation where openly sharing about Jesus is not welcome. The ministry group they work alongside seeks to intervene in and proactively battle human exploitation and trafficking. They give leadership to various parts of the project, including café business consultation, discipleship & spiritual support, and systems integration.
