Andrew & Alysha Menkis

Andrew and Alysha met in 2015 and married in 2016. Before they met, Andrew and Alysha had each sensed God’s call to the mission field. Andrew has over a decade of experience as a theology teacher and served in various ministries, such as working with college students, and is currently pursuing ordination. Alysha has been a mental health therapist for over six years and has actively served in children’s ministry. As a family, they currently lead a small group of families in their church.

Andrew and Alysha plan to come alongside the Free Church in Dundee, Scotland. Andrew will be in a pastoral role and Alysha will help with current children’s and women’s ministry programs while also hoping to create support groups. Scotland is considered a post-Christian society in which over half of the population identified as having “no religion.” The Menkis family first realized the country’s need for Christians to share Christ during their site visit in 2025. Andrew and Alysha see their families as providing direct support to the church while also being a light in a city where the majority of people have not stepped into a church building.
