The Power of Family on Mission: a conversation with Chris and Gerrianne
Description
Chris and Gerrianne share their journey from everyday Dutch professionals to pioneering missionaries in Indonesia, revealing how they're raising four children while mobilizing local believers to reach the country's 200+ unreached people groups.
• Discovering their missionary calling through the Kairos course, which opened their eyes to God's mission for all believers
• Translating professional skills into ministry assets—hotel management experience becoming valuable for team leadership and project coordination
• Creating sacred family traditions like "pancake and movie night" to balance ministry demands with family priorities
• How their daughter's calm response after a dog bite became a powerful witness to a Hindu neighbor
• Pioneering Jati, an Indonesian contextualization initiative that empowers local leaders through relationship-based training
• Maintaining spiritual sustainability through monthly retreat days and intentionally "going slow to get far"
