Their passion and heart is to reach the unreached peoples of their region, planting multiplying churches among them, and to show God’s love to the poor and needy in their city. Its their dream that as people in these communities encounter Jesus, their lives, their families and ultimately their community would be radically transformed. That dream is starting to become reality and they are excited to see it continue to unfold!
The Andersons ministered in Nepal for the first 10 years of their missionary career doing church planting and training of national workers. In 2001 they moved to Siliguri, West Bengal, India where they have been leading the Frontier Missions work of YWAM since that time. They have been involved in the training of cross cultural Indian missionaries for work among the unreached in China, Bhutan, Cambodia as well as India. They have pioneered a ministry to the poor and needy in the urban slums of their city resulting in several house churches among both Bengali and Bihari peoples. They are also involved in a ministry to widows and malnourished children in those communities.

Thailand has a population of around 70 million people. The country of Thailand is primarily Buddhist, roughly 5% Muslim, and around 1% believed to be Christian (as of 2021 according to the department of religious affairs). We will be staying in Chiang Mai Thailand which has a population of close to 2 million people and thrives on tourists coming from all around the world. From our experiences in Chiang Mai, there are a lot of young children who are open to hearing more about the Gospel and their parents are Buddhists. We are excited to go to Thailand as a family with young children to hopefully make more connections with families who are in a similar stage of life.
Jean coaches worldwide church leaders in Asia, Africa and the U.S.A. on how to conceptualize, plant, cultivate and multiply churches and ministries that are indigenous in nature. She makes sure to do this in ways that are culturally relevant, self-functioning, self-determining, self-supporting, self-propagating and self-giving, and that promote a healthy self-image and a healthy community-image.
