Brian & Lydia Kane - Cambodia
Brian was born and raised in Greenvilee, South Carolina. He earned an undergraduate degree in Bible, followed by a Master of Divinity degree from Bob Jones University. Lydia grew up in the Philippines where her parents were missionaries. She also attended BJU, where she met Brian, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and a Master’s degree in Counseling. Brian and Lydia were married in 2001.
In the summer of 2002, Brian, along with Jeremy Farmer and Josh Jensen, visited the Crowley family in Ban Lung, Cambodia. Though the Kanes had long had a burden for missionary service, this survey trip turned Brian’s heart to the people of Cambodia. The following year the Kanes were accepted into EMU as missionaries to Cambodia.
The Kanes moved to Cambodia in 2007. After language study in Phnom Penh, they began serving the Krung church leaders in the Ratanakiri province primarily through Bible teaching and discipleship. Brian is also assisting with the Krung Bible translation.
The Kanes have seven children: Mia, Sophia, Hugh, Jackson, Julia, Brianna, and Natalia.

Paul & Lindy Schlehlein - Tsongas, South Africa
Two college trips to Ghana and Hudson Taylor’s two-volume biography wooed Paul towards missions. In 2006 he began living in a rural South African village where for the first two years he resided with the chief’s children and one of his wives. There was no running water but the close proximity to the people helped me learn the language and make disciples.
In 2007 while in Mozambique, the news of our crocodile attack reached the States–including the ears of a lovely RN and midwifery student at Vanderbilt University. We wed the next year.
They planted Trinity Baptist in the rural village of Mbhokota (Google Earth) where I preach and evangelize in Tsonga each week. We are spreading out to surrounding villages in hopes of establishing churches there as well. I am most commonly known as Mzamani Kubayi in the surrounding Hlanganani area.
