Tim and Marketa Southerland moved to The Netherlands in 1998.  They worked planting churches, introducing XA university ministry, teaching at a Bible school, and serving on the Dutch A/G national leadership team.  From 2006 until recently, they served as area directors in Europe caring for missionaries and cultivating national church partnerships.

In 2020, they were invited to join a new initiative in LAC reaching the Dutch speaking part of the Caribbean.  They believe that now is the time for a fresh move of the Spirit across this part of LAC.  Tim has a D. Min. from Fuller Seminary and Marketa has a teaching degree from Evangel University. They both speak Dutch, love reading, and taking long walks together.  They have three grown sons, James, Andrew, and Michael.
