Summary

"Steve" and "Mai" left behind the American Dream to serve God in Southeast Asia—a place Mai had left decades before as a refugee and said she'd never return to. But God began to call them, and Steve and Mai submitted to His will. It wasn't easy, especially leaving children and grandchildren in the United States to move to Asia. But as God opened each new door, Steve and Mai said "yes" to His plan. God led them to set up a simple recording studio with used equipment they purchased on eBay. Steve went online and taught himself basic audio editing skills. Today they are producing Christian radio programs and Christian music in the language of Mai's tribal people; Steve edits the programs even though he doesn't speak Mai's tribal language. Steve and Mai's story will inspire and encourage you that when God calls, He will always provide what is needed to accomplish His plans if we're willing to say "yes," and take the next step. What door is God asking YOU to walk through for His Kingdom? You can connect with Steve and Mai's work in Southeast Asia at www.AheadHillTribes.com.
