About Us
Called to reach the Thai people
We are church-planting missionaries of Baptist faith called by God to reach the Thai people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Once in Thailand, we will begin to learn the language, as well as work towards helping other missionaries of like faith and practice share the Gospel.
Our mission in Thailand is threefold.
Reach Thai people with the Gospel.
Start Bible-believing, Baptist churches.
Disciple and train new converts, eventually raising up native pastors for those churches.
Our mission verse is Acts 26:18 - "To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me."
Our Family
Jordan and Katrina Nickell
Hi, we are Jordan and Katrina Nickell. We met in 2010 during our first year of Bible college, but didn't form a relationship until 2015 a year after we graduated. We got married November 2015. We come from very different family backgrounds. While Jordan had the blessing to grow up in small town Iowa and attended the same church from the time he was 2, Katrina was a Navy kid, moved all around the world, and was a member of several churches.
Jordan got saved at 19 when he realized that growing up in a Christian home and in church wouldn't save him. Despite being a good person, he knew that being a "good person" still made him deserving of Hell not Heaven. He decided to accept Christ as his personal Savior and was baptized shortly thereafter. Since then, God has given him numerous opportunities to serve him in various aspects such as, soul winning, bus worker, preaching, teaching Sunday School, and discipling new believers. He now uses those things that God equipped him with in the church in Thailand.
Katrina was not born into a Christian home, but rather her parents got saved when she was 6 as a result of missionaries to the military in Italy. Watching God change her family and being faithful to church, she got saved 4 years later during AWANAs. God has always provided a way for her serve in children's ministry. As a preteen, she helped her mom in the nursery, her teen years were spent captaining the bus route with her dad, and as an adult she served as a camp counsellor, RU Kidz Club teacher, and missionary with Child Evangelism Fellowship of Greater Jackson, Tennessee. Now, God has me teaching my own children and teaching English to the children who attend our English classes in Thailand.
We love serving God together in raising our family to love Him and on the mission field of Thailand.

Hi, I'm Champion. I am 8 years old and in 3rd grade. Arithmetic is my favorite subject, and I am really good at speed drills. My favorite part about living in Thailand is that we can go swimming almost all year round. We have a pool right next to our house. I also love the fried bananas that people bring to church on Sundays. At church, I like going to pass out flyers and invitations on Fridays and playing with my friends, Andrew and Elsa.

Hi, I'm Hadassah. I was born July 30, 2025. I love smiling at almost anyone who will give me attention. I love to chatter and have recently discovered walking! I love my family.
