About the Night
Join us for our annual Missions Experience—an unforgettable evening featuring five missionary guests from around the world. Together we’ll share dinner, worship, and powerful stories of how missions = miracles. You’ll also see highlights from recent Glad Tidings trips and projects, hear about upcoming opportunities in 2026, and be inspired by the message that missions is not just a part of the church—it is the point of the church.
At Glad Tidings, we are one church with five locations across the greater Austin area. This special night will take place at our Leander Campus (address below).

Bio of Missionaries
Dareth and Thida have been serving in the northwest part of Cambodia, in a province called Siem Reap, for the past 15 years. Their plan is to return to the same location in July 2024, to continue to build upon the ministries which have been established. They have been planting churches, training pastors and church leaders, and ministering to the physical needs of the people through building and operating schools. Currently they’re operating five schools that help over 3,000 children daily. The children at their schools receive education, nutrition and the gospel message. Through these efforts, God is changing the
Killing Fields into fields of living souls for His glory.

Ann and her family have been faithfully serving overseas since 2001. Her late husband, Stan, dedicated his life to reaching people with the gospel, and his legacy continues through Ann, their children, and daughter-in-law—her greatest encouragers and partners in ministry.
Today, Ann continues the work her family began in a region once home to ancient civilizations. By invitation of local leaders, she has established homes that now serve as centers of prayer and outreach for the surrounding communities.
In addition to her overseas ministry, Ann travels across the United States sharing stories of God’s work and inspiring others to pray, give, and go.
Through God’s grace, Ann is witnessing lives transformed, workers called to the field, and hearts opened to the message of Christ.

Jonathan and Audra have been serving in Eurasia since 2008—in India, Egypt, and, since 2015, in Moroccowhere they have led the North Africa Launch Team. This team exists to train new global workers in language and culture sound missiology, effective evangelism, and church panting. By the grace of God, over 150 long-term workers have come through the launch team over the past 10 years and are now serving on church planting teams across Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, and beyond. Many of these new global workers are coming not just from the United States, but from nations and organizations across the globe!
Because of the great growth in the Arab World's global worker force, North Africa has now become a new area within AGWM. The Delgattys have been appointed as the area directors for this newly formed area. In this capacity, they will shape vision and strategy, oversee administrative functions, and invest in the care and development of global workers serving in the area. They are excited to continue making disciples and seeing the Church established among all peoples in North Africa and to do this with partners from around the world!
