Our time in Asia is coming to a close but our life long dream to reach the nations is far from over. 2012 will mark the end of a beautiful adventure in Asia and the beginning of something new. Our philosophy in life and ministry is to hear from God and walk through the doors that He opens, no matter what it looks like and how much it will cost us. We are dedicated to spending our lives loving people, building God’s church and expanding His kingdom around the world.
Long time missionaries, Steve and Patti Gray have asked us to join them to pioneer an international school in Northern Italy. Our dream is that this discipleship school would be the spark that reaches the darkest places on earth with the gospel. We believe Italy is the prime location for leaders to be trained and sent out into Europe, Northern Africa and the Middle East. For more information on the church we will be serving in Italy click here.

While we are in the process of completing all of the necessary details for approval with AGWM to begin this endeavor, we need people to partner with us to see this dream become a reality. Please pray about being one of those people that believe in us, who will cheer us on and give us the courage we need to step out in faith. Starting this January we are looking for individuals or families to faithfully support us with prayer, encouragement, and financial support each month. If you are one of those people/families please email us at njaroundtheworld@gmail.com.
Also, we want to end our time in Asia with a bang. We have ministered is several different countries in Asia over the past few years and have seen first-hand the pressing issues that haunt the people in this area. After much prayer, we have decided to join Venture Expeditions for the summer. Nicholas will be cycling a total of 3,200 miles with the North Just+Hope Tour to raise awareness and money for pressing issues in South Asia like poverty, human & sex trafficking, and child abductions.
