who are we?
hello from sukhothai, thailand! we're a mother/daughter(s) trio serving in the foreign mission field of southeast asia. God called us into a new and deeper experience with Him, and He's using the ministry He's given us as a refining fire for our own characters. we want to share that with you!
walking redeemed together
where are we?
we believe the most prevalent aspect of ministry is the people right before us, in a physical sense. but to have anything to share or offer, we must first be learning to live connected to the Source of all power. as we learn to sit at His feet and walk in His presence, He's unfolding before us a work He has for us to do.
​
currently, we have a church plant and food ministry in the business district of sukhothai, thailand. but also, God has sent us 25 thai children in need of a safe space. as the result, we are following His call to establish a home for at-risk children. our family works together in this calling and we want to invite you into what that looks like for us as teenagers, as well as what it involves for our mom.
​
to God be the glory!
the whole gang
well, 10 of us, at least.
​
God called us from the mountains of virgina, usa when hannah was 16 and abi was 14. but we're only two out of 8 children born naturally into our family. our twin brothers, levi and quinn, were 8 and the youngest, zachy, was just a few weeks from turning 5 when we touched down on thai soil. we tearfully left our older brothers, micah, nikolas, and alex who are now 24, 23, and 21.
but we've grown!
​
now we're two of THIRTY-THREE siblings as yim, kwan, phot, wind, namwan, nuu, sky, paet, han, alu, hat, bifern, ploy, leo, cho, guav, jing, chia, sue, lao, fahsai, awa, bpao, naam, and little guav have joined the ranks. there are days we struggle with being asked to do hard things, but that's where real growth happens.
​
grow with us!

(this is our latest family picture since having everyone together again.)
character snapshots
hannah
hannah is an 19 year old in pursuit of God's calling on her life. she's a fun-loving, happy, ray of sunshine and she loves immersing herself in new cultures and language study. she's been called hanny-mommy by her younger brothers due to the time she's invested in their lives. That experience came in handy after her family moved to thailand and she became big sister to 9 more children within the first year and a half!
abigail
abigail epitomizes the term "animal lover". she spends every spare moment with her dogs, khloee and bear, but she can also be found herding our water buffalo or fussing at the sunconure perched on her shoulder for pulling her hair. she has an easy smile that is almost as sweet as the dimples that pop out as she throws her head back in laughter. she's learning to pursue the Lord so she can follow His plan for her life as she's going through her 18th year of life.
kasey
wife of one and mother to many. what began as a childhood filled with siblings turned into a life overflowing with children. God bent near and called she and her husband, robbie, to thailand but He didn't tell them why. one year after arriving, however, He'd filled their home-across-the-ocean with 6 thai children. the call was clear ... establish a safe space for more of these precious, at-risk children. Ban Ta Yim was born and today they currently have 25 thai children, in addition to their 8 biological.
