We are the Born family: Paul, Nom, Aria and Ezra. Paul is originally from Germany, born in Khazakstan and Nom is from the UK with a Scottish dad and a mum from Northern Ireland she was born in England. Our children are therefore already third culture kids and now missionary kids too. Aria was born in Wakefield in England and Ezra was born in Lübbeke in Germany. We are excited you want to follow our journey and we appreciate every prayer and support.
We are missionaries with a mission organisation called New Tribes Mission, their passion and reason for existing is to reach the unreached, in people groups that have never had a chance to hear about Jesus and what they have done for them because they haven't got access to this amazing message.
The Lord laid the country of Thailand on Paul and my heart but after returning to the missionary training centre he also challenged us to think about staying there to be missionaries.
After a trip to Thailand the Lord showed us so clearly that He wanted us to stay at the training centre in England called North Cotes College. We had decided we would pray separately and that God would speak to us both clearly with the same answer. One day on the beach in Thailand Nom asked Paul what he thought. He responded that we believes we should stay at North Cotes and work with the volunteers who come for a year or more to volunteer their time in different areas at the college and who volunteer abroad, we had NO idea if this was even a need at the time. We also had a heart for mission trips and the importance of them in challenging others into mission work as we had both gone for a few weeks after Bible school separately and had both been challenged through this.
We returned to North Cotes and spoke with our leadership team and they were amazed how The Lord has revealed this to us before even knowing that these ministries were a need.
