We are full-time missionaries at the YWAM base in Kona. As a multicultural couple, we see value in culture and creating places of belonging in community.

Eric has a passion for unreached peoples and for long-term sustainability. Most missionaries on the field struggle with becoming a part of the community and having a reason for a visa. Eric believes that the Lord is showing him that coffee is a vehicle to reach the unreached places of the world. Currently he is becoming well equipped with licenses and experience to plant “business as mission” around the world. The goal is to be welcomed into the hard-to-reach places of the world and equip others to do the same.

Jiayan is using her biblical counseling skills to help people from all over the world to live and transform into the image of Christ instead of from their hurt, fear, and trauma. Her goal is to come alongside individuals, families, and ministries to build emotional capacity, recover from malfunction, trauma, and increase maturity. Her desire is to see people connect to God so they can live freely and love fully.

As volunteers, we both rely solely on God’s provision, through partnerships with people like you, in order to live and continue serving in this ministry. Would you please consider teaming with us so together we can help change lives and spread the good news of God’s love and grace?
