God called the Marquardts to move to Myanmar (Burma) to help save Children from trafficking, to care for and disciple them, to open a Christian international school for at-risk children (May, 2024), and to raise up leaders who will teach God's word. Nate was commissioned to pastor in 2018, has done international missions since 2015, has an M.T.S. from Gateway Seminary, and earned a D.Min. from Chiang Mai Theological Seminary.
