PATRICK Conti.

Eswatini

I am husband to Leah, a passionate & creative soul who shares my love of adventure. Leah and I are parents to our boys, Elias + Forrest.

I was born in Belgium and have spent a lot of my life moving. I’ve lived in 6 countries and 5 US States. My personal history of being a third culture kid shaped who I am. I love exploring new cultures and experiences. I am a Liverpool fan and a soccer player myself. Hiking, biking, running and being outside is what refuels me. I am passionate about gathering with other men to encourage one another and seek God together. I pick up a guitar from time to time and love worshiping God through song.

I love ideas, strategy and lifting up the arms of others. I am a listener. Sometimes I offer counsel and sometimesI just listen. I feel like God made me this way and I am in a process of learning how to use these gifts and strengths. I believe God has given Leah and I the grace and ability to act as a bridge between people and cultures.

I love Jesus. My desire is to know him more and in doing so to show His love to the world around me.

Hey, y’all. I’m a girl born & raised in Baton Rouge, LA who grew up longing to explore the world. Along the way I managed to marry the inspiring, intelligent, and generous Patrick. Our greatest adventure has proven to be raising our little fellas, Elias and Forrest.

I have been passionate about working on the African continent since I was 12, and am so deeply honoured that God would invite us to serve His church in Eswatini. I am passionate about people learning who God had in mind when He created them and being continuously formed in His image. To see people realize their true identity + walk a simple life with God: that’s the good stuff. What we call Discipleship + Formation.

Laughing + Cooking are two of my favorite activities. Preferably making others laugh while cooking them tasty food. I love baking, exploring the world, drinking copious amounts of coffee, photographing faces + families, hiking with my guys, and hearing peoples’ stories.

I’m Amanda, and together with my husband Bill we’ve been serving cross-culturally since 2012.

I’m a firm believer in family missions and it’s been such a joy (and a challenge!) to raise our two boys as we serve God. Our focus in ministry is supporting others on mission for the Kingdom, and we do so as a family. We work together, plan together, and get our proverbial hands dirty together out in the field and we wouldn’t want it any other way.

My personal niche is admin, organization, training/teaching and helping fill the gaps. I also really enjoy the hospitality space and would love to run my own B&B.

We are adventure seekers who love the outdoors. You can often find us tent camping, hiking, exploring in the mountains or digging in the sand on the beach. And if we’re not outside, chances are we are all curled up with a good book in a cozy space.
