Ryan and Erin Fast live with their children, Micah, Abigail (Abby) and Ezekiel (Zeke), in Portland, Oregon as Staff for Teen Missions International. After leaving our area and a lucrative career as a Civil Engineer, the Lord called them into full time missions working within their passion for missions and for teens. They coordinate Teen Misssions International (TMI) promotional activities on the West Coast and lead teams of young people with Teen Missions around the world as they are “training tomorrow’s missionary today.”


From their site:


Ryan and Erin both experienced a call into missions early on in their childhood. Ryan participated in two international mission trips withTeen Missions Int’l (TMI) in his teenage years. Erin participated in three mission trips through her local church .

Ryan & Erin met in college and spent the first ten years of their marriage as “tent-makers” traveling throughout the United States, wherever Ryan’s job as a Civil Engineer would lead, ministering through the local churches in the various communities in which they would land.

During these 10 years of constant travel, Ryan and Erin cultivated a desire to work with teenagers and explored their respective calling to the mission field by leading teams with TMI to Greece in 2002 and Poland in 2003. After these two summer experiences the Fasts began a journey towards becoming full time missionaries with Teen Missions.

Currently Ryan and Erin live with their three children, Micah, Abigail and Ezekiel, in Portland, OR. They coordinate TMIpromotional activities on the West Coast and lead teams of young people with Teen Missions around the world as they are“training tomorrow’s missionary today.”


TMI is an organization dedicated to training and equipping youth to minister as missionaries on short term missions. They have programs and ministries for all ages children through adults. Their missions take them around the world to spread the love of Christ. Please see the website for more information.
