Taylor and Anna Neese

Disciple the Nations: Poland

Taylor and Anna met at university and were passionate about reaching those around them with the gospel. As time passed, God directed them to Grace Fellowship in Anniston, AL, where they became members and started serving in local ministry. After they married, Taylor and Anna started pursuing the possibility of going into vocational ministry and pursuing missions. Affirmed and sent out by their local church, they moved to the border of Texas and Mexico in order to train for the mission field. After their training was completed, the Neeses, with two little ones in tow (Uriah and Yana), have been sovereignly placed into the mission work in Poland. They desire to see the people of Poland come to know Christ and healthy churches planted in a place where there are so few Protestant churches. They hope to see the glory of God extend to the far reaches of Poland and beyond.
