Matthias & Petra Müller

Matthias & Petra Müller with Josiah, Phil Joel & Johanna

Lived and worked in Papua New Guinea since 2003. They gave of their lives in order to live amongst the Inapang people in an isolated village location.  Why did they make this sacrifice?  This was the only way to effectively build relationships with the people while learning their language and culture with the end goal of clearly communicating the gospel with them.  Müllers were also involved in other important roles in the field of Papua New Guinea including administration, field consultants committee. Now actively involved in their home church fellowship in Germany, Müllers also are part of the Ethnos360 Germany team and are excited to mentors with the Equip360 training program.

Andrew & Nelli Wilson

Andrew & Nelli Wilson with Deborah and Joshua:

Lived and worked in Papua new Guinea since 2004. Along with their co-workers, they started an outreach to the North Wahgi people where they were adopted into a local village family and lived in the village amongst those people. While learning the local language and culture they built lasting relationships for the sake of the gospel. They particularly enjoyed the linguistics side of the language learning process. It was a great privilege to be involved in Bible translation and Bible lesson development. The highlight of their time in PNG was teaching the people in their language using foundational teaching from Creation to Christ. It was a thrill to see friends from the village come to faith in Christ. On return to the UK the Wilsons continued to use Foundational teaching to disciple people. They moved to Germany 2016 and are involved in discipleship with local ladies and also refugees within their church fellowship in Germany. They are also part of the Ethnos360 Germany team and are excited to mentors with the Equip360 training program.
