Location: Thailand
Ministry Focus: Zach, as the new executive director of Imagine Thailand, has been working with Peter Dove (previous director and founder of Imagine Thailand) in succession planning, learning organization culture, vision, mission, and values. Zach, along with a core group of Imagine Thailand leaders, have been dreaming and planning for the future of the organization, reorganizing roles and responsibility and increasing the efficiency of impact that our organization can have in the future. He’s been actively involved in university ministry in Bangkok and developing youth and young-leaders in many of the FGAT (PAOC Thailand) churches.
Megan, as the director of health and wellness, has been focusing on learning and acclimatizing to the Thai cultural beliefs about gender roles within the family, work-place, and larger society. This includes understanding how beliefs about gender affect maternal health as well as sexual and reproductive health and education.
Megan is currently creating Thai-based curriculum in order to begin educating Thai women (ages 8 – 30) in sexual and reproductive health. Megan will begin teaching in Mae Sot (northern Thailand), Bangkok (central Thailand) and Takuapa (southern Thailand) in January 2018.
Ministry History: Prior to moving to Thailand, the Wylies lived in beautiful British Columbia. Zach served as the OMEGA Global Director at Summit Pacific College, a one-year discipleship program trained and educated the next generation of leaders for Canada and the world.
Megan worked as a Doula (birth coach) to assist women and families through the positive and the negative aspects of starting a family.
