Dan and Kimi Lewis
Dan came to Christ through the Campus Outreach ministry at the University of Queensland in Brisbane Australia where Dan & Kimi also met. After 3 years working with CO in Australia we moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand in 2013 to help start a new ministry at Chiang Mai University. We love Thai people, Thai culture, Thai food and we love introducing Thai students to Jesus. What a privilege it is to be God’s ambassadors in such a wonderful yet such a lost city.

Alex Bayless
Alex grew up right outside of Wichita, Kansas, and later moved only a few hours away to study Interior Architecture and Product Design at Kansas State University. During the first semester of her sophomore year of college, Alex processed what it meant to truly walk with the Lord and decided to give her life to Christ. During the remainder of her time at K-State, Alex continued to be involved with Student Mobilization and learned how to deepen her own walk with God and how to make disciples on a college campus. Alex has grown a heart for the lost during her time at K-State and is excited to see how God will continue to work in and through her life among the Thai people.

Brooklyn Behrends
Brooklyn grew up going to church in Iowa but never experienced a personal relationship with Jesus until her sophomore year of college at the University of Missouri. As she grew in her walk with God and came to know Jesus, her heart grew for making Him known in every corner of the earth. God gave her a heart to pray for all of the nations and through His Word. Through that process, God called her to go overseas in order to bring His name to the nations. She is excited and grateful to join the Campus Outreach team in Thailand to share the Gospel with college students.

Maria Boswell
Maria studied Merchandising and Hospitality Management at the University of North Texas. It was during her first semester that the Lord revealed the truth of the gospel to her. At the beginning of her sophomore year, the Lord began to use Campus Outreach to develop a desire to share Christ with others of all nations. As she continued to share Christ with girls on the college campus and gained a greater understanding of what God says about the nations in His Word, the Lord grew her desire to go overseas to share the gospel with those who have never heard it. She is excited for the opportunity to go to Thailand and see how the Lord will continue to move His kingdom forward in all nations.

Snow (Sano Buasorn)
I professed faith in Jesus Christ during my first year at the university in 2002. As I grew in my knowledge and faith in God, I began to love Him more and desired for others to know Him. In 2008 after working as a Scientist for 3 years I joined CO Khonkaen team because I want to build laborers who can share the power of the gospel with others.

Stephen Hellier
Stephen grew up just outside of Atlanta, Georgia with three highly competitive brothers and loving parents. Growing up and assuming he had his life planned out as an engineer, God graciously reminded him who was actually in control and lovingly, but undisputedly, turned his heart toward compassion for those who had not grown up with the blessings for which he is so thankful. The Holy Spirit changes hearts, and God uses people to bring the knowledge of Christ to all the nations, and Stephen’s heart has developed a strong desire to be a part of that international mission.

Ann (Thiwapawn Kamsawong)
Campus Intern
Greetings, I’m Ann. I was raised in a non-Christian family. I was invited to spend Christmas with my Christian friend’s community. I could tell these people were unique. They are welcoming, friendly, loving, and kind. The CO staff I met while attending the university asked me to go to the evangelistic camp. When I heard the testimony, I had doubts about whether Jesus could actually transform my life. I’ve only recently become a Christian, but now that I am, I have serenity, faith, and an abundance of love. I became an intern because I wanted to share with the lost this genuine love and all that I have learned from God.

Maddie Lebeter
Maddie Lebeter met the Lord as a student at Southeast Missouri State University through the ministry of Campus Outreach. Upon graduating, she participated in the LEAD program, serving two years in Chiang Mai, Thailand. While there, she saw how desperately the Gospel was needed in Thailand, a country of less than 2% professing faith in Christ and determined to transition from LEAD staff to a long-term staff position. She now serves as the LEAD Coordinator, assisting the team by shepherding the 2-year staff, helping them transition to Thailand and see the need for Christ in greater ways, as she did while in their same position not that long ago.

Katie Rhodes
Katie grew up in Overland Park, Kansas, where she learned about God, but she did not understand God wanted a personal relationship with her until her freshman year in college. That following summer, she attended a summer project through Student Mobilization. There, Katie learned how to daily walk with God and share her faith with others. Over the next three years in college, Katie continued to be developed as she learned how to make disciples, and God grew her heart for those around her. The summer before her senior year, Katie was privileged to attend a summer project overseas, where God showed her how He was moving across the world. This sparked her desire to make God known to all nations, and she is excited to continue on that path in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Tdang (Nattanich Tabtim)
My name is Tdang! I graduated from Khon Kaen University in May 2018 with a degree in Chemistry. I believe in God and received Jesus Christ into my life in 2015 through Campus Outreach. Since then, I’ve been growing in a relationship with God and in knowing more about Jesus. The more I see how God loves me, the more I want to live my life for others, for them to see how great is our God. After graduating, I got a job in the Chemistry Department at Khon Kaen University and have been working there for 8 months. I decided to intern with Campus Outreach because I want to grow more in my faith and let Him use my life to share the Gospel with those who are lost so they may be restored to Him.

Pbaan (Kanyapak Yapapha)
Growing up in a Buddhist family I came to Christ in 2009 through Campus Outreach at Khon Kaen University after hearing verses such as Isaiah 1:18 and Psalm 103:12.
