Tyler & Rochelle Holm

Tyler and Rochelle Holm are serving in Mzuzu, Malawi (Africa), at the invitation of the Church of Central African Presbyterian (CCAP), the Antioch Partners, World Mission and Mzuzu University. The CCAP is the largest and oldest Protestant denomination in Malawi. Tyler teaches theology at the University of Livingstonia, one of the CCAP’s institutions training future pastors and church leaders. With the growth of the CCAP there is only one ordained minister per every 7,000 members, training pastors and other Christian leaders in society has been identified as a priority by the CCAP. Rochelle works directly for Mzuzu University, a government university, primarily on issues of water, sanitation, and hygiene, bridging the gap across boundaries of research and innovative practice by working together with communities, government officials, academics and faith based organizations.

The mission of Lift off is to promote healthy demographics, culture/beliefs, and structures in the global work context for those who come in, specifically single men and women.

Matt Edminster

We have been serving with Alongside Ministries International to encourage and empower Christian leaders and churches in Europe through an international network of prayer, partnership and practical help. We have been stationed in Estonia since 1998. Our main functions are pastoral ministry in the Rapla Evangelical Church, equipping ministry and lecturing in cooperation with the seminary, Church consultation, pulpit supply and seminar speaking, Mentoring of youth, young couples, Bible school and seminary students, and Academic research and writing. Some time in 2023 (Lord willing) I will take on a more active role in theological education through our seminary system in Estonia and continue to conduct research on congregational life and theology in Estonia’s churches. In line with both of these goals, we have been constructing a guesthouse on our property since 2020 with the aim of offering hospitality to small church pastors and their families, international ministry visitors and – if necessary – immigrants or refugees in need of a first home and a path to inclusion in Estonian society. Construction of the hospitality house continues incrementally on my free evenings. You can follow our progress on the Hospitality House at http://www.edminsters.com/portfolio/hospitality-house/. To support our ministry, please send gifts to Alongside Ministries International 610 Langley Loop, Langley, WA 98260

Suzanne Emery

I work with MESA GLOBAL on the Created to be Free project. I am currently stationed in Tigard, Oregon. Based on Isaiah 61:1, Created to be Free hopes to contribute to the prevention and understanding of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and other Neurobehavioral Conditions as invisible brain based physical disabilities and thus help the Church and greater community love people with difficult behaviors better, like Jesus does. Suzanne does this through the following: 1. Education and training at Universities, Seminaries, churches, hospitals, schools, etc. 2. Individual consultation with professionals and family members. 3. Family support groups where the real transformation takes place. God is opening exciting new doors for this ministry on a global level. Suzanne also serves on the Member Care Team of MESA, creating “sacred space” for spiritual formation/transformation to occur as she walks alongside MESA missionaries all over the world. One day a week I serve as Nurse Practitioner at the Good News Community Health Center in one of Portland’s roughest neighborhoods. We are a non-profit faith- and community-based health center serving our neighbors in Rockwood and East Multnomah County. You can support my ministry here: Suzanne Emery | Mesa Global

Doug Waltar

We envision building a network of people who embrace the life-shaping goodness, rhythms, power, and calling of God. At Ingalls Creek, people gain clarity about their faith, their calling, and their contribution to the world. Ingalls Creek Enrichment Center gathers people who seek to connect their faith, life, and work in the richness of community, sending them into our changing society with a renewed sense of Christian calling. Northwest American culture has moved on a steady trajectory away from previous views of life and faith, and today only a small fraction of young adults report any relevance of “church” to their day to day experience. Churches, denominations and Christians in all walks of life are looking for ways to connect in positive ways with this emerging post-Christian context. We seek to equip God’s people—the church—to engage this changing world, demonstrating God’s love in every aspect of their lives.
