Kansas City - Joseph and Abbie live in the Historic Northeast of Kansas City, MO. with their 3 kids, Atticus 4, Hazel 2 1/2, and Merit 5 months. They started working with Somali refugees in 2018 after learning about the 10,000 Somalis that live in their area. They live day to day with this vision: "To intentionally live among and share the gospel with Somalis in KC with the hope of planting a healthy reproducing Somali church for God's glory and not our own." Joseph and Abbie are members of Central Baptist Church where they lead a ministry team that focuses on getting the gospel to Somalis in KC. Part of their everyday ministry includes inviting college age students to live with them in their home for a 1 year missions internship, to be prepared to serve Jesus for a lifetime on a cross-cultural team. Pray that we would be faithful each day to Abide with Jesus, Pray with dependence on the Father, and Proclaim the message of the Gospel through the Holy Spirit.
