About Us

The Woodburns live and minister in Little Arabia, Anaheim to the immigrant and refugee community from the Middle East.

The Woodburn family is part of Novo missions’ North America Initiative (N.A.I). N.A.I.’s vision is to see new followers of Jesus multiply in urban cultural enclaves across North America. Their focus is to catalyze the multiplication of disciples amongst Middle Eastern families far from God.

We envision Little Arabia as a global gateway city for the Gospel to go to it and through it to the Arab world within the Middle Eastern area of the 10/40 window.

Pray for our family and for our ministry

• Divine appointments with persons of peace (Luke 10:5-7)
• Multiplication of new obedient disciples among the diverse unreached people groups in Little Arabia.
• Effectively equip national believers to easily share their faith and disciple others.
• For God’s covering of favor and provision for our family spiritually and physically.
