Serving In The World

D. H. & Emily Henry

Missionaries to the Navajo Nation

D. H. and Emily met at Covenant Seminary in 2008 and married in 2010 with a shared vision to minister to one of the native tribes in North America.

In 2015 the Henrys moved to the Navajo Nation, which spans Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah, to work with a local ministry, focusing on outreach, counseling, culture, and language acquisition, as well as supporting and resourcing seasoned Navajo pastors. After being ordained by the Southwest Presbytery, D. H. saw the challenges his fellow pastors faced on the Navajo Nation, and at the same time felt a growing passion for future leaders.

The Henrys now focus on training and preparing young indigenous leaders to become better equipped to bring the gospel of the kingdom to their tribe.

Davor and Sandra Kukec

Missionaries to Croatia

Sandra and Davor are Croatian nationals who met and became sweethearts when they were 15 years old. They were not yet believers, but God brought the Gospel to them and transformed their relationship, their families, their purpose, and their future.

They attended college in the U.S., where Davor received a degree in Marriage & Family Counseling and Sandra received a degree in Biblical Studies. They then returned to Croatia and have worked with CRU in the Family Life ministry for 22 years. They have held marriage workshops and retreats, counseled and discipled couples, and taught in forums across Eastern Europe. In 2024, they transitioned to work with Ministry Essentials, and continue to counsel, mentor, and grow couples and global workers in their marriage relationships.

The Kukecs live near Zagreb, Croatia’s capital, and have two grown sons.

John and Kathy Clow

Missionaries to Honduras

John and Kathy Clow have served as missionaries with Mission to the World, the Presbyterian Church in America’s global missions organization, since 2001.

John grew up in Texas and trained as an engineer, and Kathy grew up in Georgia and obtained a degree in special education. They both felt God’s call to missions while they were in college, so it was natural when they met and married that they would seek to serve the Lord as missionaries. They have served In Reynosa, Mexico; La Ceiba, Honduras; and are now in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. John is MTW’s regional director for Mexico and Central America while Kathy has recently received her Masters Degree in Counseling and will use her training in member care for the Latin American missionary community.

John and Kathy have four grown children who live in the United States.

Michael & Lindie Wadhams

Missionaries to Tohono O’odham Nation

In July 1998, the Spirit of the Lord placed a burden on the hearts of Michael and Lindie to move from Cape Town, South Africa to the United States to work with Native Americans. This burden increased with further study and reading books such as Dee Brown’s Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee and The Trail of Tears, which tells the story of the relocation of the Cherokee to Oklahoma.

With Michael’s church planting experience and continuing theological studies, and Lindie’s education in social work, they came to the U.S. and settled in North Carolina, where they entered a full-time pulpit ministry on the Cherokee Indian reservation. God later moved them to Charlotte, North Carolina, where for over 11 years they were involved in pastoral ministry and continued study.

After completing a Master’s Degree in Theology (Th.M.) specializing in missiology, Michael began pursuing the mission opportunity to the Lummi and Nooksack Nations in Washington State. There, Michael and Lindie established a ministry team and partnered in planting a Native American church.

Today, the Wadhams reside in Apache Junction, Arizona and have begun a mission working amongst the Tohono O’odham Nation, and will initiate new works amongst the Gila and Salt River Nations in partnership with local churches.

Jan Stutheit

Missionary to France

Jan has served with Mission to the World for over 25 years. She earned a Master’s degree from Westminster Seminary and with the Lord’s guidance, became a missionary to France. She has ministered to the French people for many years, and still lives in Marseille, but her focus has shifted from working with French nationals to providing theological training to French-speaking African nationals.

Jan was dismayed to find that despite the growing presence of the gospel in Africa for over 100 years, many African believers remain untrained in Biblical discipleship and worldview, and as a result, religious practices often include animism and other non-Christian beliefs.

In 2020, Mission to the World loaned Jan to work with Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA), to bring discipleship and training to African believers, especially pastors and church leaders. With this ministry, Jan commutes to French-speaking Africa, focusing on taking participants through DNA’s Biblical Worldview video course, along with a course on Living in Grace, and other theology courses as requested. She teaches intensive one-week courses, recruits others to teach, and follows up with the many course participants to help them continue growing in their faith and knowledge of God. As she has worked and taught with DNA, Jan has been encouraged to see pastors and leaders grow and learn, and therefore their congregations form a more solid Biblical worldview.
