Jony & Soojin · Missionaries with Team Expansion

Training ordinary believers to make disciples who make disciples.

In cafés, churches, villages and online, we train people across Malaysia and Southeast Asia to follow Jesus — and to help someone else do the same. We can't do it alone. Will you join the team?

From our 2026 monthly reports. We keep our numbers small and honest.

How it works

Train. Multiply. Send.

One simple pattern from 2 Timothy 2:2. It works in any language, and it keeps going when we leave the room.

We train believers

Through Zúme Training, people learn simple tools: reading the Bible with SOAPS, praying for others, and sharing their story.

They start groups

Trained believers gather friends into small 3/3 groups. New leaders are coached until they can train others.

Leaders are sent

Leaders carry the training to new towns, villages and nations — led by people who already belong there.

I was away for most of July. The training did not stop. Four Zúme cohorts kept meeting in four languages, carried by local leaders who did not need me in the room.

Meet the team

Hello, we're Jony & Soojin

We are missionaries with Team Expansion, serving from St George's Church, Penang. In 2025 we stepped into full-time ministry with one simple goal: help ordinary believers become disciple-makers.

Jony founded Mission Disciple School and leads the training. Soojin disciples leaders, shepherds our Mandarin cohort and keeps the whole work running. Together we write to our partners every month.

“Thank you for standing with us. You are part of every group that meets.”
