We are the Lauvers—Eric, Jessica, and our three children: Benjamin, Emily, and Jordyn. In
October 2023, we took a leap of faith and moved to Thailand to partner with brothers and sisters in
Christ to advance the gospel. Though the desire to "go" had been stirring in our hearts for over a
decade, the timing was never quite right for both of us—until we visited Thailand in early 2023. It was
shortly after that trip, that God aligned our hearts and confirmed His plan for our family to live among
the unreached for the sake of the gospel.

​

Through God's provision, we had the commitment and support of those who work with us through
our small business in the U.S. and were incredibly blessed to be able to dedicate a year to serving
the Lord in Thailand. During our time, we experienced firsthand the deep need for the gospel and the
incredible ways God moves when we step out in simple faith to our calling as followers of Christ to be
his witnesses and ambassadors to the nations. Whether through building relationships, sharing our
testimonies, or simply living out the love of Christ, we saw God open hearts to His truth. This journey
strengthened our faith and deepened our passion for spreading the Good News to those who have
never heard it and may never get the opportunity to.

​

After returning to the States in October 2024, we continue to seek God’s guidance on where He
will lead us next. One thing remains clear—our call to be His ambassadors continues no matter
where we are. We are convinced every follower of Christ is uniquely called and gifted to proclaim the
gospel, love others as Christ loves us, and build one another up for the advancement of the Gospel.

If you feel a similar stirring in your heart to take the gospel to unreached peoples of the world, we
encourage you to seek the Lord’s direction and step forward in simple faith. Whether it's a week, a
month, a year, or a lifetime, we can wholeheartedly say that reaching the unreached with the gospel
transforms lives—theirs and yours. Jesus calls us all to make disciples, and we have seen firsthand
how even the smallest act of faith can have an eternal impact.
