Tim
Pioneers
Growing up in Japan as the child of church planting missionaries, Tim looked forward to settling down in the US after high school and began planning for a career in architecture and construction while dreaming of fly fishing for trout for the rest of his life. God had other plans for Tim, however, and after reading “Through Gates of Splendor”, Elizabeth Elliot’s powerful story of the martyrdom of her husband and his four colleagues at the hands of the Auca in Ecuador, God called Tim to commit his life to cross-cultural missions.
In preparation for ministry, Tim enrolled at Columbia International University, where he met Kim. After their marriage in 1991, Tim spent three years teaching in the public school system in the US before moving to Central Asia where they learned the trade language and the language of the unreached people group to which God had called them.
