Michael and Tia have been involved in missions for an extended period and in a variety of ways. Both have helped with daughter works in North America and have taken missions trips. Tia also worked in promotion and recruitment for Global Missions. After their marriage, they went to the nation of Latvia as AIMers. While there, they were able to help in three additional Russian-speaking nations. Michael and Tia were then appointed associate missionaries to Moldova but due to COVID spent a majority of their appointment in Ukraine. They taught in three different Bible school campuses across Ukraine, participated in conferences, did prayer walks and served the church in Kyiv. Once in Moldova, Michael and Tia started a preaching point in the capital city of Chisinau. They also started evangelizing, doing prayer walks and trained short-term workers. Upon their return, Michael and Tia will be launching the work in Moldova by focusing on planting a church in the capital city, learning Russian, training and sending AIM teams and training groups that are open to doctrinal teaching.
