Who are we? 

Converge International
Converge International Ministries is asking God for a gospel movement among every least-reached people group in our generation. Converge International Ministries is the mission arm of Converge. We serve as a part of the UK & Ireland Initiative where we are asking God for a powerful gospel presence to take root and thrive in every Irish and British community.

Our  Mission

The UK and Ireland are the 2 least-reached English-speaking nations in the world in terms of the gospel. Our first 2 years we served at King’s Church Chessington (SW London) in a ministry training role. Focus was adapting to culture here and developing role and relationships with leaders and church planting and revitalization movements around the UK and Ireland.

We are based at Grace Church Leatherhead now, serving to grow evangelism and outreach through the church to the community and Tom is serving as part of the staff team alongside Pastor Jon. This church was replanted about 6 years ago and is starting to grow and flourish. With GCL as a base for ministry, we will continue to invest alongside British leaders and networks to see movements of churches planting and revitalizing churches.

Celebrations

Join us as we celebrate all God is doing in and through Tom and Tonya!

  • Over the past year, we have seen God provide in our lives as well as open doors to friendships and ministry. Praise God for all that He has done and give thanks with us for all He will do.
  • In 2025, we were blessed to consider 3 churches and their networks as a next ministry location for us from King’s Church. We transitioned well into ministry and life with Grace Church in September of 2025, receiving our 3-year visa in October, and have continued to grow in relationships and ministry there. Only a little more than 1% of the 46,000 people that live in the immediate region attend a worship service at an evangelical church on a weekend. Tom’s role is Evangelism and Outreach Strategist, and there is already fruit as we have started to make more intentional investment into evangelism and outreach in the community. In January we will start a weekly soccer training and a meal with youth in North Leatherhead, an underpriveleged community.
  • Three days spent with a group of leaders in Wales has opened up opportunities for international partnership with a growing movement of churches seeking to see 100 churches planted in Wales in the next 10 years. A vision trip with the Converge Rocky Mountain District opened up new connections for ministry partnership with Gospel Movements in Liverpool, Manchester, Belfast and Northern Ireland, and in The Republic of Ireland. A Bible training conference in Glasgow, Scotland and a week of travel to visit with pastors around Scotland has opened up the opportunity for future partnership in church planting and revitalization and friendships with pastors working to reach their context and start new churches. These are exciting new developments for the work of the gospel here in the UK & Ireland.

Prayer Requests 

Let's pray together! 

  • For the continued growth and discipleship of our boys Elijah Finn and Oliver Wren. For the health of our family and that we will be a living testimony of God’s goodness and love in a dark place.
  • For the gospel work in Leatherhead and the surrounding region to grow and flourish.
  • For Converge’s work investing to see churches planted and revitalized across the UK and Ireland and specifically for key steps in Scotland and Wales in the coming 6-12 months.
  • For increased committed giving and special gifts as our monthly support is more than $2500 below our monthly need for 2026. Cost of living, inflation in the UK and the need for partners to stop support this past year has all resulted in higher financial need.
  • God’s providence of a rental house in the community where Grace Church is located.

How Can We Help?

  • Our biggest need right now is an increase of committed monthly giving and special gifts. Our ministry giving is $2500 short of our budgeted need for 2026 due to increased ministry opportunity, increasing costs and even though we have brought on new partners, the loss of a couple of partners in 2025 due to a variety of reasons. We will work to keep our costs as low as possible, but with an upcoming move to be more local to our church, and great ministry opportunities that will require funds for travel, every gift given will be a help in this new year. Our upcoming move to the area of Leatherhead will be greatly aided by special gifts to cover moving expense and any items needed for a new home. Gifts can be given through our secure Converge giving page HERE
  • There is also the opportunity to join me twice monthly for prayer as a part of the Prayer Network for the UK & Ireland. You can sign up to pray with me HERE
