Killions–Fall 2020

Nathan and Jessica attended Grace Bible College where they met and married. Two years later their son, Matthias, was born. The Lord led them to accept a pastorate at Faith Bible Church in Olney, Illinois, where they ministered for the past 5 ½ years. It was there that their daughters Abigail and Chloe were born. This was a meaningful time of growth for the Killions as they learned much about life and ministry and built lasting friendships.
Since college the Killions have been directly involved in mission outreach. Nathan visited the Philippines twice, and both Nathan and Jessica participated in TCM’s Africa Safari 2007 to Kenya. During that trip the Lord confirmed His desire for them to become full time missionaries.
Shortly before the Africa trip the Killions met TCM missionaries Genesis and Verna Maraat who shared their vision for ministry in Thailand. They challenged the Killions to join them. After praying about the opportunity for several weeks the Killions were ready to commit themselves to serve as missionaries to the people of Thailand.
The Lord reaffirmed this calling through Nathan’s survey trip to Thailand in November. Walking among the innumerable Buddhist temples; watching worshipers bow before idols; talking with individuals who have no concept of Jesus Christ or the Bible—these experiences vividly demonstrated the need to share “the living and true God” with the Thai people.
The Killions arrived in Thailand in December 2008. they have been studying the Thai Language.
