Missionary Ashlie Hokanson
Ashlie Hokanson is a full-time missionary, serving at the African Havens in Johannesburg, South Africa. After serving in both volunteer and staff roles at Bethel Dallas Church in Lewisville, TX, Ashlie was sent by the church into the mission field in August 2018.
At the African Havens, Ashlie wears many hats (which is not unusual for her) and helps not only with administrative projects and special events for the main office, but also serves in one of the homes 5-6 days a week. Currently Ashlie spends the majority of her time with the 8 residents of our Boys Haven home, and has her hands full with homework, soccer, extra tutoring, wrestling, mediating conflict and all the other things that come from helping to raise 8 boys into strong young men. Ashlie truly has a passion to see the boys she works with become all that they can, to dream big, work hard and know that they are capable of so much more than they know.
Because Ashlie is in South Africa on a "volunteer visa", she is not allowed to collect any form of salary from within South Africa country for her work there. Her ability to stay an continue her work is completely dependent on generous ministry partners like you. And while "her plan" was to always make money and support other missionaries, she finds herself instead on the other side of the scenario. And while it was the opposite of anything she would have chosen, the requirement to be dependent on others has been one of the biggest blessings she can count to date.

Thank you and God bless!
