These church planters help build healthy, self-sustaining churches by coming alongside the local leaders of Central Asia through teaching, strengthening, and encouragement. With their three children, they have spent the last eight years serving the people of the region by focusing on developing healthy churches, as well as starting new church plants in the village areas.

Clay holds a seminary Master's degree in Cross-Cultural Studies allowing him to use his skills and gifts for teaching different evangelism techniques in men's ministry. These Bible study settings have led to the development of home groups and given opportunities to disciple and share the Good News. Melissa uses her seminary knowledge to engage and disciple women of all ages through various ministries. She has a desire to develop and translate literature for women in their heart language.
