​My husband, Sanan is Thai. From a young age, it was evident that the Lord had His hand on Sanan’s life. He was rescued as a young boy, gave his life to Christ and God ignited a passion within him to help other children who needed to be rescued from desperate situations.


When I (Natalie) was 13 years old God gave me a vision of serving on the mission field. At 20 years old I sold everything and moved to Thailand. I knew I had a heart for children but I didn’t know exactly what God had in store for me. When I arrived in Thailand, it quickly became clear that God was calling me into the ministry of preventing human trafficking. God brought two people with the same heart together and just the right time. Together, we started Hope International Ministries in 2022. God has called us to Thailand for such a time as this!
