Both Gideon & Anny grew up in Indonesia, got married and moved to Melbourne in 2001, and are blessed with two beautiful daughters.

They had their first contact with Ken Tracy (Rayma’s husband who went home to be with the Lord in April 2011 while serving on the missions field in Indonesia), when they started attending a family Life Group that supported Ken and Rayma’s ministry in West Timor.  Gideon & Anny are now leading this Life Group, which continues to support this mission ministry.

They have a heart for supporting this mission as they can see God’s mighty hand and love for the people in the regions of West Timor; and how Ken and Rayma spread the gospel lovingly and practically and discipled those communities. 

People in the area of ministry speak their own language/dialect, however most people in Indonesia also speak a common language, the Indonesian language, or Bahasa Indonesia.  Both Gideon & Anny pray that God will use their background (language and culture) as a bridge between CityLife Life Groups and the mission workers they are supporting as well as the people they are ministering and connecting with to make an impact.

Gideon & Anny will be communicating with Rayma’s adopted Life Groups or individual subscribers on news updates/prayer and praise notes.  They will also be looking at opportunities to fundraise for Rayma and her ministry and some of the projects in West Timor.
