Our Story

Hannah grew up in Australia and became connected to KIDS through mission trips with her family. Hannah has been visiting KIDS since she was 15 years old. In 2022, Hannah ventured out on her own and visited KIDS by herself. That's when she met John John.

John John grew up in Tondo, Manila and became connected with KIDS in 2014 through one of the feeding programs. John John later joined the Shalom Boys' Home in Tondo and eventually began serving in the ministry in 2019.

We were married in October 2025. Since then, Hannah has completed her Bachelor's degree in Social Work and John John has a Bachelor's degree in Political Science. We have both felt called to the Philippines as missionaries to join KIDS and to serve the people of Manila.

John John will be serving in Tondo by focusing on discipleship within the Shalom Boys Home and the local community. Hannah will be serving within the KIDS Social Work office, assisting social workers and missionaries. She will also assist within the Adonai home and will devote part of her time to raising awareness for this important ministry.
