Brittaney grew up in Lima Ohio, and began to feel called to oversees ministry from a young age.  She has volunteered in youth ministry for over 10 years in many different ways, from bible teaching to discipleship and leading small groups.  After taking bible classes she began to really develop a heart for the unreached, people without gospel witness, and who have never even heard of the name of Jesus.  She moved to Southeast Asia in 2019, to the heart of the unreached world.  It was soon after that she met her husband, Patrick.  They both currently live and serve in Chiang Mai, Thailand.  Patrick works for a christian agricultural development organization, and Brittaney currently works with Prosperous Youth Foundation (PYF), who works to meet the practical and spiritual needs of youth in and around Chiang Mai.

The PYF team is networking with youth homes and providing them with resources, equipping youth workers, and discipling youth (ages 12-20) living without their parents in the city of Chiang Mai. Many youth come from tribal families who live in mountain villages, hours from schools, so they move to the city for an education while their parents stay in the village to work, often on their farms. There is great need for this kind of ministry for the youth to have more adult interaction and to be guided and introduced to Christ. The potential outcomes are invaluable: decreased drug use, prostitution, poverty and high school drop-outs and a generation who knows Christ and has hope for the future!
