Stephens, Noah & Karleigh

After Noah went on a few mission journeys as a youth, God began to stir a passion in him for cross-cultural ministry. He served with MTW on several short-term mission trips to the Philippines during his summer breaks as a student at Covenant College. It was during this time he felt the Lord calling him to full-time ministry. While attending Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi, he heard about ministry opportunities in Thailand and became connected with the team serving in Bangkok.

Karleigh grew up in Georgia and attended Berry College, where she studied early childhood education. She felt a call to missions after being involved with Campus Outreach. This call was confirmed while on a month-long mission trip to Thailand in the summer of 2014.

Noah and Karleigh realized they should fulfill their calling to missions together and married in 2015. The two welcomed their first child in 2017. They are excited to serve alongside MTW’s team in Bangkok. Noah, as an ordained minister in the PCA, will work alongside national Thai pastors and the MTW team in church planting. Their desire, as long-term missionaries, is for God to use them to help plant many Christ-centered churches throughout Thailand. Please pray for them and consider joining their support team as they serve and witness to a people desperate for hope.
