Josh, Alyssa, Adelynn (5yrs old), and Judah (2yrs old) Clay are missionaries who feel a burden for the people of Mali, West Africa. They spent their first term with a veteran missionary family  in the Ivory Coast. After serving in a variety of ministries (literacy center, basketball center, medical missions, bible clubs, Sunday school, etc.), a new opportunity became available with a new church plant in the village of Anan. As the door to living in Mali seems to be closed for the moment and this door to starting a new church presenting itself, the Clay family will return to the Ivory Coast after furlough to continue the work of planting churches.

We were born and raised in South Korea and came to know the Lord as teenagers. While studying mechanical engineering in college, God called me to the ministry and later led me to the USA for Bible training. I met my wife at Bible Baptist Church in Seoul, and we were blessed with two sons. We ministered for 25 years in New Jersey, planting a Korean church, and then served 10 years in teaching ministry at West Coast Baptist College. God has now given us a burden to return to Korea to plant independent, fundamental Baptist churches.
