Helene Atkins I’m Helene Atkins, and I live in Nashville, Tennessee, though my twin sister and I were born in Manchester, England, UK. My formative years were spent between New Jersey, USA; Wales, UK; and Denmark, giving me a unique international perspective and appreciation for different cultures. I later settled in Maryland, USA for many years before eventually moving to Nashville to support my husband’s career as a saxophonist. About a year and a half ago, I was laid off from my corporate role as a Digital and User Interface Designer. After more than a year of searching for a

Jared & Verena Bradley Hello, we are Jared and Verena Bradley. I am from the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Australia. Over time, God grew in me a heart for cross cultural ministry, which eventually led me to serve overseas. I met my wife, Verena, while serving on mission in Türkiye, where I worked with Operation Mobilization for five years. That season shaped my faith deeply and, in God’s kindness, is also where He brought us together through a shared calling to serve Him. We now have two sons, Noah and Samuel. Verena is German and I am Australian, so our boys

ANCIENT PATHWAYS – K&L Jeremiah 6:16 This is what the LORD says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.” For two decades, K&L have embraced incarnational ministry among communities following the world’s second-largest faith tradition, living out the apostle Paul’s timeless strategy: “I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some” (1 Corinthians 9:22, ESV). Following Christ’s model of becoming flesh and dwelling among us, they have made themselves at home

Benjamin & Christine Hagelgans We are Benjamin and Christine, together with our children Leon, Mateo, and Silas. Our hearts beat for people, the church, and mission. For many years, we’ve been actively involved in our local church in Aschaffenburg, Germany — especially in youth ministry. As a family, we love sharing life, learning from others, and traveling together. Early in our marriage, we spent a formative year in Greece, and ever since, we’ve carried a deep love for this region. After opening our home and hearts to young people in our area, God has now opened a new door: He’s

Heinz and Lissette Noche Hi, I’m Heinz. Along with my amazing wife Lissette and our three children, we’ve been serving as missionaries in Germany since 2011. Before that, we spent several years in pastoral ministry in Peru, where God began to shape our vision for international church planting. When we arrived in Germany, we had an 18-month-old baby, very little German vocabulary, and a lot of faith. We started in the Ruhr area, the largest metropolitan region in the country and home to a significant Muslim population. That’s where we began learning the language, understanding the culture, and building relationships.
