About us

Greetings!  We are Michael and Lia Strand; we're in our late 40's (and now 50!), with 5 children.

Michael worked in the corporate world for 27 years, most recently as a Senior Data Architect at a Fortune 100.  Lia home-schooled our children, two of whom have graduated.  (Guess who had the harder job!)

We've lived life in the greater Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. Through time, we've been involved with many facets of ministry in local churches: elder, small group leader, worship, missions, children's, and several other areas.  We've also prepared for however the Lord may use us, including seminary work (TEDS and Knox), Perspectives, various conferences and short-term mission trips.

During a trip to the middle east in 2017, we sensed the Lord moving us further toward full-time engagement in advancing His Kingdom.  The Lord orchestrated the path for us to serve with The Alliance in Sarajevo, Bosnia!  While a major life change, we have seen door after door open to confirm and enable this change.

Sarajevo is a fascinating, multicultural, modern, wounded city.  We have settled in to life in the city, and are learning the language, culture, and ministering as possible.

We eagerly anticipate what He has in store: how He will grow, change, and use us for His glory.
