“How beautiful are the feet of the messengers who bring good news!”

Rom 10:15 NIV

Foursquare Missions International (FMI) partners with the global Foursquare movement to make disciples of all nations. FMI has missionary workers throughout the world. We are a missional force compelled by the love of Jesus to take the whole gospel to the whole world. For more on FMI visit here.

Sterling Foursquare Church partners with longtime missionary friends and ministry coworkers in the nation of Thailand. Our first team launched in 2012 and from this initial effort we have developed a longstanding and far-reaching ministry network with teams returning yearly. Primary focus has been given to the Akha hill tribe people as well as collaborating with Foursquare Thailand.

Our FMI missionaries include, Aaron and Alina Glassburn, and Paul and Lori Vernon; while we also partner with longtime missionary friends Clinton and Pahtyana Moore.

AARON & ALINA GLASSBURN

Aaron was born and raised in Sterling, CO growing up at Sterling Foursquare Church and was a member of our first mission team to Thailand in 2012. It was on that trip that he began to discern a call of God to become a missionary and fell in love with the people and culture of Thailand. He continued to go on every trip thereafter until he eventually moved to Thailand in 2018 and was then deployed as a full-time FMI missionary worker.  

Aaron met his wife Alina while deployed in Thailand and they were married in May 2020. Alina is an Akha woman who speaks Akha, Thai and English. Together they make a dynamic ministry team. In the last several years they have provided ministry support for Thai Foursquare churches in both urban and rural contexts and have launched several projects to resource remote village ministries.  

A current project focus is “Children’s Church Planting” as they look to launch NextGen ministries within rural village churches. They are currently based out of Chiang Rai, Thailand.
