SULLIVAN—Thailand Tim, Heidi, Elya and Annaliesa Advocate: Simpson Faith Family |
 |
| After living and working with Pioneers in Lucknow, India for many years, Tim and Heidi now continue that mission in a new capacity from their home in Colorado. In India and other parts of the world, when a person becomes a Christ-follower, they could lose not only their family but also their source of income. Following Christ’s directive to care for body and soul, HeartCraft, a business and ministry tool of Pioneers, helps to provide income to the believers and is also a platform for the gospel to be shared in the community. | ||

EWIG— Middle East Ben |
Click Here To Email Amy Taylor To Receive Information On How To Donate To Ben Ewig. |
| Ben Ewig grew up in Ohio, did his undergraduate work in Pennsylvania, and then moved to Iowa to work on a Ph.D. If you have ever seen someone biking around town in the middle of a blizzard or out in the countryside on a leisurely 25 mile run it was probably Ben. He’s crazy. Somewhere along the way God began preparing Ben for his greatest adventure yet; moving to North Africa. In a chain of events that probably started on the day he was born but more recently kicked off with our focus on missions by utilizing kingdom wide equipping challenges (i.e. Perspectives Class and TOAG (short term cross cultural) experiences). Ben ended up stopping school with a Master’s degree and preparing to head wherever God would take him. Two years later he was in North Africa with a specific mission to share the Gospel with Muslims. Now Ben lives with some young Muslim men, is becoming fluent in Arabic, and has even had a chance to continue his running with some members of a North Africa national track team. In short, if you know Ben, you can be sure that someone in North Africa is hearing the good news of King Jesus right now!
