A life changing encounter
It all started with a life changing encounter with Jesus. Since then He has become the foundation and the cornerstone on whom we have built our lives and our family.
We spent the first few years serving our local church, working in our jobs and loving and serving the community around us in the city of Leeds, UK.

Propelled into missions
After following the clear and strong promptings of Holy Spirit we left our careers as a Doctor (Mollie) and a Teacher (Steve) and applied to attend Harvest School of Missions with Iris Global in Mozambique. Learning about missions and Jesus in the midst of revival radically impacted us and put something in our hearts that hasn't left since.
After completing and graduating the school we felt the call from God to go to South East Asia and minister to victims of the sex industry.

Africa to Asia
From Mozambique we went straight to SE Asia for two short term missions trips to Thailand and Cambodia then we joined with a pioneering long term Iris Global team setting up in Cambodia.
For nearly five years we helped to pioneer and lead two new Iris bases in the country.
We got to witness Jesus do some incredible things during this time and we fell deeply in love with the region (if you would like to read some testimonies including our time living in a slum and some miraculous breakthroughs during outreaches to the provinces visit our blog).

Asia to America
The Lord then very clearly called us away from South East Asia for a time. It was difficult to leave, but in hindsight it was God's perfect timing to come away from the field for a season of training and equipping and mentoring.
We lived for four years in Redding, California where we attended the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry and had the privilege of serving in the Iris Global office, the healing rooms, the bethel environment and learning and serving alongside other great leaders in the body of Christ.

South East Asia calling
Throughout our time in America it was evident that the Lord had more for us in Cambodia and He miraculously opened the door for us to return.
Our family have returned more excited than ever to be a part of what Jesus is doing in SE Asia! We are still serving with Iris Global and now have the added blessing and privilege of also being bethel missionaries. We have rejoined the original team that we helped to found and establish now called Iris Phnom Penh.

The main focus of Iris Phnom Penh is trafficking prevention through community outreach and poverty alleviation in Cambodia.
Our vision is not just to try and help prevent trafficking but to also bring the hope of the gospel that can itself transform communities from the inside out.
By planting house churches within these communities we aim to raise up local leaders who are able to raise up leaders after them who can themselves transform their nation for the better. Join us!
