We are Paris and Lauren Winfrey, a young family with a passion to help establish the Kingdom of God in the heart of the 10/40 window. We have a vision of not only equipping young people with valuable job skills, but awakening the calling God has placed on each of their lives. After getting married in 2018, we felt led to serve with Outpour Family Foundation. Together, we advocate for the betterment and empowerment of oppressed people groups who transcend the Thai and Myanmar border.
We are blessed with the responsibility of leading an educational ministry called SEEDS. As we build and develop programing geared towards English learning and art appreciation, Lauren and I work closely with local schools providing extracurricular activities for students. SEEDS is host to youth groups, community meetings, training's, and more. We hope to be a space of expression - people expressing their thoughts through language and arts, and God expressing his love to us.

Our Field.

For years, the people of Myanmar have suffered through civil war and oppression.
Voices were silenced, dreams were destroyed and all of it happened unbeknownst to the modern world.

60 Years

The longest continuous civil conflict in history

401,000 people

Displaced by the conflict due to violence and lack of work

97,000 refugees

Living in camps along the Thailand & Myanmar border
Through job skills training, relational ministry, and educational programing, our goal is to hand the tools over to the people primed to heal their nation.

Lauren

Lauren graduated from college with a degree in English and her sights set on a career in journalism. In 2012 she stepped in to the world of public radio and spent 5 years learning how to promote it, manage people, and a series of other skills she felt couldn’t possibly lead her anywhere. During that time, Lauren acquired a certificate to teach English as a second language. With her passport in hand, she was ready to step into a new season of adventure.

Lauren is a full time wife, dog mom, and teacher. Her calling has led her to Thailand to help develop learning programs, and pass on her passion for life to the young minds of local Thai and Burmese youth.

Paris

After graduating from college with a degree in business and a toolbox full of what would seem like unrelated skills and passions, Paris set out on an 11-month mission trip called the Worldrace. During this time, God worked in and through him in miraculous ways, and the vision and calling for his life began to take shape. After returning to the states, God’s direction pointed to Thailand and the people that touched Paris’ heart – Outpour Movement.

Along with his team, Paris advocates for the future and education of the young people who transcend the Thai-Myanmar border through a youth program called Seeds.
