From an early age, Jane had felt a call to missions. Life got in the way, however, and she married and had two children. Grief hit their family in 2011, and Jane’s desire to serve overseas was reawakened. Now, she serves in Southeast Asia among a Muslim minority group, and her loss has given Jane a unique perspective on ministry and empathy for those who have suffered as she has.


Bonus Story: Jane meets a Muslim-background believer who has never read the Bible. The connection provides a language-learning partner for Jane, and the young woman she discipled is now bringing the light of the gospel into places Jane could never go.


Pioneers is committed to serving TCKs (Third Culture Kids) like Jane’s children. Find out more about the challenges TCKs face, and listen to our season three interview with Taylor, a TCK who is now in graduate school to be a counselor and shares her story with us.


Check out our photo essay “Life in a Fishing Village in Southeast Asia” to get a sense of what it’s like to serve in Jane’s context.
