Tum and Natalie met in their early twenties when God brought them together through community development ministry in Bangkok, Thailand. At that time Tum had recently graduated from seminary and Natalie was serving as a mid-term missionary. They each had hearts to minister to kids, teens, and the marginalized. Their original plan was to continue their ministry together in Thailand after they got married. However, God had different plans. Due to immigration complications during a trip to Colorado they were required to stay in the US much longer than expected. Their 3-month trip turned into 7 years! Despite their lives being turned upside down, they knew God was ultimately strengthening them to return to Thailand. God used their time in the US to strengthen their marriage, further their education, and develop their ministry/professional skills. Now they are ready to return home to share the good news of Jesus with Thai people again! They both have hearts to see lives transformed through the grace and truth of Jesus Christ.
