2025 Ministry Report

 

The Pocock Family Missions 2025 ministry report

Fun fact to keep you reading: The Pocock family took 23 flights in 2025 and Brit did it with a baby on her lap!! 

2025 was a year of challenge and adventure for our family.  The Lord worked in us in many ways and through us in ways we may not see until the day we see clearly!  It was a year of change, growth, networking, fellowship and obedience. It was hard in ways that drew us closer to the Lord and in ways that transformed us for the better. We were greeted with exciting news at the end of the year. At the end of the year we found out we were expecting baby Pocock #5. Our family is excited to see a new Pocock face and excited to see how the Lord will provide for all our needs in  2026.

Singapore, Pregnancy Help ministries conference Pan Asia hosted by Heartbeat  International. 

Heartbeat International's vision is to foster a world where every life is welcomed, and abortion is considered both unwanted today and unthinkable for future generations. They aim to achieve this by building a global network of community-based, life-affirming pregnancy help, including centers, maternity homes, and adoption agencies. 

JP and I had the opportunity to learn from the incredible leaders of Heartbeat and also to connect with Pregnancy help ministries that are currently operating in Southeast Asia. It was an awesome time.  

 Thailand, Phuket Christian Center

We as a family decided to go to Phuket after our two conferences for a family vacation. Phuket is special to JP and I in that it is where I, Brit, was introduced to Jesus!  We had the privilege of sharing that testimony at Phuket Christian Center during our vacation.  It was wonderful to be back and to share with our kids that experience.

The Elm Center-mission is to equip churches to empower women in Thailand to choose life by affirming the sanctity of human life and proclaiming the gospel of Christ.

We had the opportunity to join the Elm Team during Friday leaders meetings and also one of the leaders joined our zoom training to learn how to grow an abortion restoration ministry in their center. 

Restoration to the Nations is a ministry that was laid on our hearts years ago after walking though post abortion restoration. This ministry is birthed after great trial and transformation. The ministry desires to see the body of Christ restored in the area of abortion.  Our vision is to equip the global body of Christ with the ability to minister abortion restoration to the nations.  Many nations have been affected by abortion. The Church has also been greatly impacted. To reach the nations we must first allow Christ to redeem and heal ourselves inside the Church.  

We had the opportunity to train and equip leaders from 4 different nations through a 4 week zoom course designed to grow leaders into the work of abortion restoration in the Church.  The countries served were Thailand, Malaysia, India and the US.  

Tribal Children's Home-

Creating a home away from home to give tribal children access to a formal education at government schools. This has allowed over 3000 children to retain their tribal identity within a family environment while receiving Christian values and enabling over a 1000 of them to accept Christ as their Savior. 

Our family had the incredible privilege of having a home base inside this village.  Our children had the opportunity to love and be loved by these wonderful children.  Super thankful for the Lord's provision is this place. 

Smartseed learning Center is an is an international learning center working with kids through the P.A.C.E curriculum. This curriculum is a christian based homeschool curriculum. 

JP and Jeremiah both had the opportunity to teach here. Jeremiah taught guitar and JP P.E.

I want to encourage all that are reading this blog to look into these ministries I have listed.  These are wonderful God honoring ministries that would benefit from your support as the body. Whether through service or prayer or finance.  We are called to serve one another.   

Thanks so much for taking the time to read all that the Lord has allowed us to do, witness, give and be a part of in 2025.

With much Love,

Team Pocock
