Paul & Beth Kostner

Paul (from Illinois) and Beth (from Tennessee) Kostner met on a 1983 Teen Missions Team to the Philippines. They were married in 1986 and joined the staff of TMI in 1990. Paul and Beth learned that God has a sense of humor when, after adopting their daughter Lindsay (from the Philippines) at three years of age, siblings Colton and Danae promptly followed, to the amazement of the doctors. BJ was adopted from Vietnam in 2002. Lindsay is now a social worker in Orlando. Colton is at the University of Central Florida studying Film. Danae has graduate from Wheaton College with a degree in Political Science. BJ is a student at Eastern Florida State College. 

Paul’s previous training comes in handy as he is the head of the US Teams Department where he is responsible for all the travel arrangements of the staff and summer teams. He is also responsible for all the correspondence between the missionaries and TMI, along with phone calls and emails from the parents. Beth also works in the US Teams Department where she registers all the team members, leaders, and volunteers. She is also responsible for obtaining visas for the team members and coordinates the Ministry Safe policies and background checks for all the staff, students, team leaders and volunteers. The Kostners both serve on the Governing Board of Teen Missions.

Prayer Requests

• Praise the Lord for faithful prayer and financial supporters
• That our children would follow the Lord in every aspect of their life

If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. —1 Peter 4:11
