Joseph and Beryl (née Aseno) have been interested in missions since childhood. Both were born in Kenya, and their friendship started developing while they attended the University of Eastern Africa, Baraton. There they served in the men’s and women’s residences, in youth leadership and through music. During the school holidays, they served in the same local congregation and volunteered to support ministries among the Maasai of Kenya, an unreached people group at that time.
After graduating from the University of Eastern Africa, Baraton, Joseph studied at Central Michigan University, then Regent University, U.S.A., where he recently earned his Doctorate in Strategic Leadership specializing in Strategic Foresight. Beryl also graduated from the University of Eastern Africa, Baraton, then studied at Daystar University and recently graduated with her PhD in Strategic Communication, also from Regent University, U.S.A. While single, Beryl served as a missionary in a creative access country, working with women. She also recently completed a second Masters in Law (Human Rights and Rule of Law) from Regent University.
Joe and Beryl have been blessed by God to work as professionals in 12 countries on four continents, while traveling in several others. They travel and serve in various local congregations and communities. Joe is an executive professional with MAERSK; a global shipping company, working with the organization’s leadership in various leadership capacities. Beryl, a gifted writer, has served as a Country Director for an international humanitarian organization, ADRA, in Togo, Sierra Leone and The Gambia and several others. She has also consulted for the UN (United Nations) on a project to improve livelihoods in Malawi. Beryl has a passion for working with the marginalized and vulnerable and has worked with refugees in Somalia, and with The Hope of Survivors in South Africa. A Poet and Author, she has written for several Christian magazines and women’s devotionals and will soon be publishing her books. A Certified Life Coach, she continues to coach and intercede for and with several women weekly. Her call to serve with women has inspired her to seek to understand Trauma, its effects on life and the pathways to healing.
Joe and Beryl are both avid readers blessed with a vast collection of books in their home library. They both love to learn. They count it the greatest opportunity to study the Word of God and to serve the Lord in reaching unreached people groups. After graduating with their PhDs in 2021, they have both sensed the call of God to serve as career missionaries in Greenland (the coolest place on earth). Expect to read “ArCticles” of their call and more soon.
Joe and Beryl love to sing together in praise of God as Joe plays the saxophone and the flute while Beryl plays the violin and piano. They love reaching out to people of various cultures and learning new languages. Fixing plant-based food together is one of the fun things they enjoy.
Joe and Beryl are excited to follow God’s leading into paths unknown because they know Who is leading in their pilgrimage through Greenland. They thank each of you for your prayers and support as they seek to show the incredible love of God to those who have never heard.
