Missionaries

Rebecca Gibbons

YWAM Thailand

Rebecca began her missions work with YWAM in the Czech Republic and has been working in Thailand since 2010.

Her heart is to see Thai nationals raised up and sent into missions and the work place as ambassadors for Christ. Rebecca is serving in discipleship training in local churches, and has recently taken on responsibility being a coordinator for all the Discipleship Training Schools in all of Asia

Pacific.  Rebecca’s influence and responsibility stretches beyond YWAM Thailand, to a

Foundation under YWAM called Project life, working with children at risk, elderly, and

women coming out of the red-light district.  Her focus is always on those overlooked or forgotten, and has recently moved to a more remote area of Thailand that has little or no access to the gospel.

Lamun “Eve” Buasri

YWAM Thailand

Eve is a Thai national and was brought up in a Buddhist family. She had never heard about Jesus until college. A few years later while studying at university Eve was introduced to YWAM and shortly after joined the Discipleship Training School (DTS).  She has been serving full time since 2002.  Eve’s desire is to see her people turn their hearts to the only True God. This is not easy in Thailand as religion and beliefs are so closely connected to Thai culture, so when someone chooses Jesus they are seen as rejecting their culture. Currently Eve is serving in DTS and alongside the local churches (many of which do not have full time pastors) in remote areas of Thailand there is little know of Jesus and the gospel.

Barry and Peggy Owen

Wu Chang Bilingual Fellowship, Taiwan

Barry and Peggy began their ministry in Taiwan in 1988.  They have been serving in Wu Change Bilingual Fellowship since 2015.  The ministries at the Wu Chang church help motivate, model and mentor Chinese Christians in missions, and Barry and Peggy serve as active examples to both the Chinese congregations and the Bilingual congregation of the church.  Barry’s primary focus is working with the local church to develop a vision for missions and mentor missionaries, Peggy has maintained contact with a previous church plant, specifically with a village outreach which has given them an opportunity to challenge the large city church to reach its Judea, as small groups from the Wu Chang Church become active in the village outreach as well. In a few years as missions becomes a stronger part of the DNA of the church, they anticipate returning to church planting in the least reached areas of Taiwan.

Pray for our missionaries serving in the 10/40 Window

Cornerstone Bible Church supports other missionaries serving in parts of the world that do not allow us to identify them or their locations. These areas are located in what is called the 10/40 Window.

The 10/40 Window is a rectangular geographic area stretching from North Africa through the Middle East to Asia, covering 68 countries. Its name comes from its position between 10- and 40-degrees north latitude. Two-thirds of the world’s population live within the 10/40 Window.  Three out of every five people in the 10/40 Window have no access to the gospel. There is little if any separation between religion and state in much of the 10/40 Window. The poorest of the poor predominantly live in the 10/40 window.
