Missionary couple (Bernie & Sylvia Kay) in their sixties needing a place to call "home" . . .
Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty
We are Bernard (Bernie) and Sylvia Kay, long-term missionaries from New Zealand serving with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). With decades of service to God’s calling, we focus on training and mentoring in the South Pacific and Southeast Asia. We're in our sixties and don't have a home of our own as we lost everything in the 2007/2008 financial crash. We are now seeking the stability of a home of our own. Our journey has been marked by faith, service, and reliance on God's provision.
Having worked with YWAM for over 30 years, we have impacted various parts of the world. From 2015 to 2019, we collaborated with teams to produce the JESUS Film in 64 new languages in the South Pacific, effectively sharing the story of Jesus in the heart languages of many.
Additionally, we are involved in Oral Bible Translation, addressing the reality for over 10,000 language groups who lack any access to the Bible in their native tongues. Our joy is to train young people to work alongside Bibleless communities, facilitating the translation of the Bible orally into their languages, allowing these communities to connect with God in a personal way.
The money will be used to purchase a permanent home for Bernard (Bernie) and Sylvia Kay. This will be the case whether all the funds are raised or not. It will mean getting a mortgage but all funds will be used for the purchase of a Home.
Stacey, Thank you for helping us get into a home. May the Lord bless you this Christmas and the coming year.
We really appreciate you and the fact that you support us. Thanks you. Blessings.
Thank you so much for this. It means a whole lot to us. Bless you. Bernie & Sylvia
