global Missions

Rev. Joy’s desire is to further develop  Missions in the Pentecostal Assemblies of God Uganda, particularly as they take steps towards global missions initiatives. She sensitizes leaders about missions. She equips workers to move across cultures with the message of Jesus Christ. She mobilizes churches to send them. The ultimate goal is to add Ugandan workers to the global missions force making Christ known to the least reached—in Africa and beyond.

Joy’s ministry has always had a cross-cultural focus. She felt a call to missions shortly after she came to Christ at age 19. She first served in China, using ESL as a vehicle to share the gospel. Before beginning ministry in Uganda, she pastored a First Nations church in Canada for fifteen years. God's passion "that all may hear" continues to shape and drive her ministry. She is currently in Canada because of health issues.

Prayer Requests:

• “Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out [Ugandan] workers into his [global] harvest field" (Matt. 9:38).
• Health and strength restoration after car accident and cancer treatments

Marielle and Pierre have served 18 years as PAOC global workers and their ministry has focused on the African continent.

After working in Ivory Coast for nine years, the Charbonneaus felt called to Haiti in 1996. According to the UN, nearly half the population there battle with extreme poverty and many families struggle to feed themselves. The gangs have made life even worse and very dangerous. They began a church for children and youth, where weekly meetings are held. 
They also run a ChildCARE Plus children sponsorship program and a school that teaches hundreds of students from kindergarten to Grade 13. Their school seeks to work with the neediest families of their community providing meals and education to the children. 
After more than 20 years of operating this school, they have witnessed hundreds of graduates go on to obtain higher education. They have also seen many of these students and their families come to faith in Jesus. Pastor Michel passed away to be with the Lord in December of 2024. Louise is presently working remotely in Canada awaiting an opportunity to return to continue her leadership role.

Prayer Requests:

• Freedom from gangs and peace in Haiti
• For the school and church ministry
• For God to draw many more young people to Himself and provide the  means for them to work and provide for themselves. 
• For God to manifest Himself powerfully through seeing people be baptized in the Holy Spirit and being used in the gifts of the Spirit.

They seek to build a community among the artists of this vibrant city.

Prayer Requests:

There are many challenges because of the war. LTS is not only for biblical, theological development, but also for character formation, and the search for God’s calling. The students are practically involved in various ministries: preaching and ministering in churches, orphanage ministry, outreach and camps for children and missions trips.

Since 2014, Yves and Francoise Michaud have served in northern Thailand among the Hmong, Karen, and Lahu tribal communities. Their heart is to walk alongside local pastors and churches—supporting, encouraging, and equipping them through biblical training, leadership development, and practical community initiatives. Whether it’s helping drill a well for a boarding school, establishing a shelter for women, or launching sustainable farming projects, their desire is to see both physical and spiritual needs met in Jesus’ name.
They count it a privilege to walk with the Thai church and tribal communities in this beautiful nation.

Prayer Requests:

• For the Karen believers: the church in Mae Win is growing and maturing, taking on more responsibilities. Pray that their witness be a light and an encouragement to the whole area.
• Tribes and Nations Outreach Training Center: specifically for 4 students they will be supporting this year to go there.
• Fruitful outcomes from long-term development projects like the Seed Project, the Abigail Refuge, and the upcoming book project.
• Spiritual growth and leadership among local pastors and believers in the tribal churches, especially the younger generation rising in faith.

Their passion is to care for and befriend youth, young adults, and those suffering due to troubling life circumstances. They are focusing much of their attention on providing tangible support and care for youth, single mothers, refugees, and displaced families. Having a deep love for people, it’s an honour to serve in life-giving ways. 
Although they engage in many compassionate initiatives such as providing food, clothing, and other necessary household items, they especially love to focus on caring for young people.  
So many youth are experiencing loneliness and uncertainty in the midst of trauma and suffering around them. Their goal is to build relationships, provide them emotional support that they need, and implement interactive programs and activities for them. They also both serve alongside the staff at King of Kings Network.

Prayer Requests:

• For God to bring peace, healing, and comfort to those suffering.
• For God’s work as they care for and befriend youth, young adults, and those suffering due to troubling life circumstances.

R and S minister in an area that has a highly dense population with most people battling extreme poverty. There is also considerable religious diversity, but very few have heard the gospel of Jesus Christ.

R. is the principal at an elementary school for impoverished families, with over 200 students in attendance. They also operate a tailoring centre, offering necessary skills training for women to start their own businesses, so that they can provide for their families.  
They also travel to various areas to train and develop pastors through seminars and conferences. Their desire is to help raise up a new generation of fully committed leaders who provide eternal hope to their communities.

Prayer Requests:

• For God to provide more opportunities to reach people in the communities all around them, and continue to share His love and compassion to those in need.
• For God to give them continued health and safety as they travel and serve in their roles.

Leila is involved in weekly worship and Bible study sessions in a RAN country. She also has mentorship meetings with seminary students and works among refugees providing hope through relationships with the most vulnerable.

Since Leila works in a country in the Middle East which is hostile to the Gospel, we provide limited information here.

Prayer Requests:

• That God would continue to provide papers to allow her to travel and live where she can do the ministry that God has called her to do.
• That God would continue to provide the funds necessary to fulfill her ministry.
