Short Description

Taste & See is an opportunity for a local Canadian church family to take its first steps to Global Missions through the Alliance. Teams will learn from experienced International Workers (IWs) on what it means to live out the Gospel in a cross-cultural context, and it is an opportunity for your youth, young adults, and members to see God’s work around the world. By partnering with IWs engaged in the advancement of the Global Church, your team can explore on how they can build a relationship with other churches through their testimony, skills, and prayer. From beginning to end, teams receive quality training during their time overseas as they learn to build long-term bridges through short-term engagements with followers of Christ everywhere in the world.

This is for a church or group

Location Profile

Being a tourist town, Phuket has a laid back atmosphere. This is not a megacity; however, beyond the bustle, there is an incredible desire for many visitors to find that “thrill” that can finally satisfy a longing in their lives; be that trying to find that perfect beach to run away from life’s problems to finding meaning and acceptance in the red light district. Phuket truly is a dream location, but the reality for many doesn’t always match up.

The purpose of the work in Phuket is to foster an opportunity for God to be glorified through education, exposure and experience, transformed worldview, and a nurtured heart for missions. The context of Thailand requires empathy, passion, and knowledge, and there is no better way to embody these traits than to join the people who are fighting to break the chains of oppression on a daily basis. We want you to see first hand how God is working in Thailand, and to be encouraged to take the next step in His plans for you.

Tim & Nancy Moore

Regional Coordinators Asia Region

Nancy committed her life to Christ at a summer camp, and when she was 18, she solidified her commitment. Nancy attended Moody Bible Institute with the aim to become a missionary nurse. Tim grew up in a minister’s home where mission was always the point of life. After a long season of complacent rebellion Tim surrendered his life to Christ, while in university, at 23. Tim and Nancy have been married since 1981. Tim has served as a professor at CBC/CTS/Ambrose, and a Youth Pastor at Glencarin Alliance Church and Unionville Alliance Church. Nancy’s ministry is caring for cancer and acute cardiac patients as a Registered Nurse.

Together their 38 years of ministry service and marriage has been preparing them for this ministry with Envision Canada.
