A missionary is partnering with Trans World Radio (TWR) to enable the Wayana people in the jungles of Suriname to hear the gospel – 60 years after his parents first witnessed to the region.

Tom Schoen is following in the footsteps of his parents Ivan and Doris, who initially travelled to Suriname with their three children in the early 1960s. The nation is one of the smallest in South America but is very ethnically diverse.

Tom has served as a pastor in the US for 20 years and has continued to support mission work in the region. He is fluent in three Surinamese languages and he leads a radio ministry to its indigenous people.
