Biography

From snow-capped mountains to tropical beaches; crowded cities to small rural villages; elephants and tigers to pythons and the Mekong catfish; mangos and sticky rice to crunchy fried spiders; from chanting and mantras to smiles and laughter; the beautiful and diverse Southeast Asia Field is full of excitement and promise. 

The 5 countries in the Southeast Asia field are in the 10/40 window, composed of between 220-230 million people with 400 languages/people groups; where almost half the population, 110 million, have little or no access to the Good News of Christ.  14 different people groups, representing over 2.5 million people do not have any mission group engaging them with the good news of Christ.* 54% of the population is 25 years of age or younger.

Rolf & Debbie came to SE Asia in 2003 following 17 years of youth ministry.  Their first assignment was to Cambodia.  In 2006 Rolf was assigned as the Field Strategy Coordinator for the South East Asia Field.  Debbie is the NCM Child Development Coordinator.  They serve the Southeast Asia Field from the Field Office in Bangkok, Thailand.  They work with a team of servant leaders dedicated to developing Christ-like disciples in the nations.

Rolf & Debbie love to share about the rich blessings and lessons they have found in their journey with Christ. They enjoy singing together and are happiest working as a team to teach, speak, sing or lead for Christ.  They are blessed with two children; Joshua (married to Aubrey) and Susan.  They enjoy being grandparents to two wonderful granddaughters, Cadence Joy, and Eden Jubilee.
