God called the Marquardts to move to Myanmar (Burma) to help save Children from trafficking, to care for and disciple them, to open and operate a Christian international school for at-risk children (opened June, 2024), for sports ministry, and to raise up leaders who will teach God's word. Nate was commissioned to pastor in 2018, has done international missions since 2015, and has a Masters of Theological Studies and a Doctorate of Ministry from Gateway Seminary.
