We are Jared, Joyce, and Jessie.

We have been missionaries in Vanuatu for more than 10 years, and our heart is to empower indigenous training and development for people living in rural and remote areas.

As well as caring for our precious daughter Jessie, we serve V2 Life, a YWAM ministry which runs a primary school and training programs for young adults.

Jared works as the Operations manager, overseeing bookkeeping, budgeting, government partnerships, communications, maintenance, site planning and whatever else comes up.

Joyce runs V2 Life's sewing club, teaching women how to use sewing machines as well as how to sew clothing, handbags, and other things they can sell to provide income for their family.

We have a heart for hospitality and discipleship, so we love to be able to host friends for meals and "do life" with them as we all learn to walk more closely with Jesus.

One of our current "big goals" is to raise enough to build our own home. After living in various YWAM and rented accommodation for more than 10 years, we are excited about having our own space to show hospitality and care for our family.
