WORSHIP WITH US

Rex (aka Dick) & Johanna de Koning, from the Netherlands. We are 70 and 69 years of age. We are parents of 6 children and grandparents of 8. We have been missionaries to Thailand for over 35 years. We have officially retired from the Mission, but are still quite active in the LEAF Foundation that we began together in 2012. The LEAF Foundation, (abbreviation of Life Encounter A Foundation) was established under the umbrella of the C&MA in Thailand.

The LEAF Foundation focuses on providing coaching, micro loans and practical help for less privileged youth and families.

Our previous work existed mainly of giving counseling to couples and individuals. We started a counseling clinic in 2001 and it has grown to become a business recently. Our daughter and son in law are running the business now. Johanna still supervises the counselors. The organization can be found here www.NCSBKK.com

ALMA Marriage Encounter was another project we began and led for 17 years in Thailand. We helped to start it in Indonesia as well. Thousands of couples have benefited from ME Weekends and Marriage Builder Groups.

We have experience in leading workshops and seminars in topics regarding marriage, interpersonal skills, communication and many other topics.

Our mission is to enhance the life of families and individuals by various means. Driven by the love of God for His people.
