a family on Mission
Since 2019 we have been living in Manila with our three children, following God's call.
We are missionaries with VM-International. God placed us here — with a clear purpose: to connect people in Southeast Asia with Jesus Christ. We do this in different ways — learn more about our Mission →
Our Story
Our story began quite unassumingly — two people from Germany, two children, and a calling we simply followed. Since 2019 we have lived in Manila. Meanwhile, there are five of us.
MORE ABOUT US →A story full of trust
Martin joins a discipleship school with YWAM in the Philippines — and senses God's call into mission for the first time.
After Bible school and church ministry, Martin and Dagmar marry. God places the same thing on both their hearts — Mission.
