Mikael & Renee are currently studying and working in Belfast, respectively. Mikael is studying for a degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Queen’s University, and Renee serves the vulnerable as a senior care worker in a residential home.

They both worked with Youth With A Mission (YWAM), primarily as training coordinators, between 2005 and 2010, taking them many different places around the world. Mikael continues to do some service for YWAM (web-based stuff, mostly, but some training) part-time.

Our family and friends are international. Renee was born and raised in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (USA), and Mikael was born in Oslo, Norway, but also considers Boulder, Colorado (USA) his hometown.

Our vision: We’re passionate about justice and mercy for the oppressed and marginalised.

Past work: We worked with the international NGO Youth With A Mission for five years, in various capacities, including: training coordination, overseas placement coordination, church and school-based ministry, and on leadership teams of two operating locations.
