​Sabrina and Adam are preparing to serve long-term in Japan (Fellowship International) with a focus on empowering local believers and not-yet believers to make disciples who make disciples. Sabrina has a burden to love and serve girls in Japan who are recovering from sexual exploitation. Adam will seek to engage with Japanese men in the home, work, and leisure contexts that they already inhabit. Both Sabrina and Adam desire to see Japanese people experience the grace and love of Jesus and enter into a rhythm of discipleship that leads to disciple-making movements where lives are changed, churches are planted, and communities are transformed. Let’s pray for Adam and Sabrina as they share the love of God faithfully.

Wayne and Shirley van der Merwe were appointed to serve in Indonesia with Fellowship Int’l in 2018. They were both born in South Africa and became Canadian Citizens in 2016. They had both been called to missions before they met and their desire to serve God in missions was part of what drew them to each other. Shirley is a doctor and Wayne completed his Masters in the field of Christian Counselling.

They have three children, Caleb, Yael and Abigail. They currently reside in Kamloops, BC where Shirley has been working as a family physician and Wayne has been engaged in evangelism and discipleship among university students. Wayne is hoping to teach at a seminary in Indonesia once they are able to move there, currently he is facilitating his class via Zoom.

Pray for open doors of opportunity for Shirley and Wayne as they begin ministry in Indonesia via Zoom while based in Canada. Pray for concentration and clear communication for Wayne as he prepares a syllabus and presents the class content via Zoom.
