Missions With Noel
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Words cannot express my gratitude for all of your prayers and support as I serve on the mission field. It is such a joy to witness the Lord moving in so many people’s lives and to co-labor with Him in efforts to share the good news of the Gospel. Your role is SO significant in what I am able to do, and I am truly thankful.
I am excited to share with you what the Lord has been doing over the past few months. Normally, I try to write a newsletter update every month, but the past two months have been some of my busiest yet, and I haven’t been able to find the time to write it all down! I’m so sorry for this delay, as I consider it very important to keep you all updated as my prayer and support team.
Southeast Asia
I’m currently leading a team in Southeast Asia, and we’re already halfway through our trip! We’ve been here since mid-December, and we’ll be staying until March 1st. It’s been an amazing few months—building relationships, sharing Jesus, and seeing God move in powerful ways.
The team and I are connecting with local communities, and every day feels like a new opportunity to learn and grow. It’s been incredible to see the hunger people have for the gospel and to witness firsthand how God is working here.

Worship Nights- a special ministry in our home
One of our favorite ministries we’ve been able to be a part of is our worship nights at home. What started as a simple time for our team to gather on Sunday nights to worship and read the Bible has turned into something so much more.
As we met new friends and shared about Jesus, we began inviting them to join us. What began as a small, quiet gathering has become a sweet time of worship and connection with people who before this had never heard of Jesus. We are able to worship, share more about Jesus, and spend time praying for eachother. It's amazing to see how God has used these nights to bring people closer to Him and to each other.
It's a reminder that ministry doesn’t always have to be big or flashy. Sometimes it’s in the simple, everyday moments—gathering together in a living room to pray, worship, and share what God’s doing in our lives. We’re so grateful for what He’s doing through these nights and excited to see how He’ll continue to move.


Building Relationships and Sharing Jesus
A huge part of our ministry happens in the everyday moments with local friends. Most of our time is spent meeting up, growing in relationships, and sharing the good news of Jesus. Whether it’s over coffee, in a park, or during Bible studies, these connections are where the real work happens.
It’s incredible to see how hungry people are to hear about Jesus here. Every conversation, every study, every moment spent diving into God’s Word has been such a blessing. The need is so great, and it’s amazing how this activity alone fills up most of our schedule. Sometimes, it’s honestly a challenge to keep up with all the people who want to hear more and dig deeper into their faith.
But it’s a good challenge. We’re seeing God move in big ways through these simple, meaningful conversations, and we’re so grateful for the opportunities to walk alongside people as they take steps toward Jesus.

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
6 New Believers!!!
I’m thrilled to share that we’ve seen 6 people give their lives to Jesus here in Southeast Asia! It’s been such an incredible journey watching these individuals take that step of faith, and I can’t wait to share all the specific stories behind these decisions. Each one is a beautiful testimony of God’s love and how He’s moving in such powerful ways.
These moments remind me just how big and faithful our God is, and I’m beyond grateful to be a part of it. I can’t wait to tell you more!
Prayer Request
A Deeper Love for God: Pray that each of us continues to fall more in love with God every day and that our hearts remain fully devoted to Him in everything we do.
Growth for the 6 New Believers: Pray that the 6 people who have recently given their lives to Jesus will be hungry for His Word, grow strong in their faith, and be discipled well.
Salvation for Our Local Friends: Pray for the many friends we’ve made here—pray that they will come to know Jesus and that their hearts will be open to His love and truth.
Wedding Plans: Pray for Andrew and me as we plan our wedding—ask God to give us peace, wisdom, and joy during this busy and exciting season.
"And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God."
