we are a part of a wider church.

Captivate is zealous for God’s glory to be made known to all the ends of the earth.

Nomads in East Africa

Yakim, Grace and their kids are serving in East Africa. Their gospel work is not in a formal role due to political opposition, but rather, in the small conversations and living distinctly Christ-centred, God-glorifying lives.

Lims in Japan

Matt, Jen, and their kids Obi, Theo (and one on the way) are serving in Japan. Matt serves the team at Hi-b.a. (ministry for high schoolers). Jen cares for the boys and builds relationships with other mothers in their local community to show them how the gospel can transform lives.

Falls in Vanuatu

Rob and El and their kids, Zac, Jason, and Asher are serving in Vanuatu. Rob is equipping the next generation of pastors, evangelists, and Church workers at Talua Theological Training Institute. El is caring for the boys and considering how she can be midwifing in Vanuatu for God's glory.
