Cork, Ireland
The Neglia family- Mike, Rachel, Eoin (19), Rosie (10), and Finn (7)—have been serving in Cork, Ireland, since 2003. Originally from Fallbrook, California, Mike and Rachel followed God’s leading to plant a Christ-centred church in the heart of Ireland’s second city. All three of their children were born in Ireland and are being raised to know, love, and follow Jesus in the place their family now calls home.
The church they lead, Calvary Cork, is a welcoming and gospel-focused community committed to discipleship, hospitality, and biblical teaching. Mike serves as the lead pastor and recently completed his Master of Arts in Biblical and Theological Studies (MABL) through Western Seminary. He also serves on the Executive Team of the Calvary Global Network and hosts the Expositors Collective podcast—a ministry focused on training and encouraging Bible teachers. His heart is especially for equipping preachers and teachers across Ireland and around the world.
Rachel leads the women’s ministry at the church and plays a vital role in the spiritual and relational life of the community—especially through hospitality, encouragement, and discipleship.
The Neglias are grateful for the opportunity to live and serve in Cork. They’re joined at home by their beloved cat, Tabitha (not pictured), and are deeply thankful for the prayers and support of friends, family, and ministry partners around the world.
Thank you for partnering with us in what God is doing in Cork!
The Andrews Family
Northern Thailand
We are the Andrews family. We have joined Pioneers missions agency and will be moving our family to Southeast Asia this year. Shortly after we were married, we spent a year in Southeast Asia. We lived among the unreached and it completely changed our lives, our marriage, and the goals we had for our family. We saw first-hand full communities that had never heard of the name of Jesus, let alone had a local church that would introduce them. We came home after that year to grow our family and get some more experience in our jobs as we prayed through what was next. We will be joining an established family on the field with the goal of helping plant a church. If you’d like to hear more details about our ministry, please connect with us!
