Luke and Belle

Luke and Belle are intercultural team members in Chiang Rai. Together with their three boys, Salem, Judah and Isaiah, they have been alongsiders to ethnic Thai people since 2015, living in Nan and Phrae provinces in northern Thailand.

In 2023, the Lord led them to work with TonCedar Foundation, an urban ministry and non-profit organisation that seeks to build a sustainable business ecosystem centred on faith, stewardship and innovation. TonCedar’s vision is to see the power of the Gospel integrated into all of life and shaping the culture of work that fuels thriving communities. This new focus on business as mission has given both Luke and Belle a sense of purpose for the years ahead. They have learned so much from being part of this entrepreneurial team and have already had opportunities to take part in various projects. 

In the future, Luke hopes to establish a collaborative art studio where young artists can 
be discipled in their art and faith journeys, and where Thais can express their creativity 
as a reflection of our Creator. Belle hopes to establish a plastic recycling business producing quality raw materials that can replace the need to use brand-new plastic products, with hopes to establish a sustainable business that supports and educates the community about creation care.
