Calvin and Lydia began living and serving in the Silk Road Area in October 2023 and are planning on staying there for 12 months. Calvin is an Engineer and Lydia is a Physiotherapist.
They have both experienced God’s love and redemptive grace in every aspect of their lives and enjoy sharing His love with others. Since they first met in 2015, the Lord has been cultivating a heart for missions within them, through hearing from their parents and mentors, going on short-term mission trips and partnering with intercultural team members sent from their church.
In 2016, Calvin spent a month in the Silk Road Area. He loved the friendliness of the people, but also saw a great need for the Gospel there. Back then, Lydia was one of Calvin’s financial supporters, and has since also developed a heart to serve there.
Calvin and Lydia are currently immersing themselves in the new culture with daily language lessons, and spending time with local friends they have made, which involves sharing many cups of tea! They are both passionate about connecting with people through playing sports and having a good meal together. In particular, Calvin enjoys playing volleyball and Lydia enjoys running.
Calvin and Lydia's desire is to live and serve among the K people long-term and are using these 12 months to discern God’s calling for them. However, they cannot do this alone. Please consider financially and prayerfully partnering with them and the ministry in the Silk Road Area.
