Trips to Africa

We are the Schaefer family: Danny, Nel, Emma (8), Lydia (7), and Tessa (1.5)

We are a family on mission in Iowa City, IA to make God's name great among all people! 

We started this journey together in 2012 when we moved to the Middle East to share Jesus with Muslims.

Our vision is to multiply healthy disciples and churches until Jesus returns. 

So, what do we do?

We equip believers to take responsibility for the lost in their communities. The pathway is simple: Abide with Jesus, Pray for the lost, Go to the lost, Sow Gospel seeds, Disciple new believers.

As a family we follow this pathway in our local neighborhood. By God's grace we've seen people follow Jesus for the first time, including Muslims from the Middle East! We believe the Bible gives God's people authority to start simple churches and baptize others, which is why we baptize new believers in our driveway! 

In order to see our cities reached, we need a ton of ordinary believers to say "YES! I will go and make disciples right where I live."

Which is why we share this vision with churches and believers across the Midwest, and provide training so that everyone can follow the simple pathway to make disciples and plant churches.
