Johan Lahtela

In 2013, God changed my life in a way I never would have believed. He took me on a lifelong journey where I have learned to know His love and His will more and more, both for myself and for others. The more I got to know Him, the more I also saw God’s heart for those who have not yet heard of Him or come to know Him. Together with God, we want to take the gospel of Jesus Christ wherever He leads us.

Education & Missionary background

"Although persecution and many different challenges seem to be constantly present in our work, God continuously opens doors for us so that these people have the opportunity to be saved and come to know Him. Many times, we are left in awe of what and how He does it." - Johan Lahtela
