Ted and Dawn Siemens
Dawn grew up living a nomad's life since her father was in the US Navy. Still, when she and Ted married in 1984, they never imagined what God had planned for them. In less than two years, God moved them from South Dakota to Taiwan. There they served as English teachers on the air for the programs Studio Classroom and Let's Talk in English at Overseas Radio and Television. Living there opened their eyes to how many people live unaware of God's love and plan of salvation through Jesus Christ.
On a vacation in Guam, they visited TWR and were hooked! They joined TWR in 1992, serving first on Guam and later served in the Netherlands and Vienna, Austria. From July 2018 they were part of the team on Cyprus, where Ted served on TWR's Global Media Training Team and coordinated media training for ministry teams in Europe and the surrounding region, while Dawn worked with refugees, teaching English, and served through their local church.
In April 2023, Ted and Dawn relocated from Cyprus to South Dakota. Dawn now leads one of the monthly online US TWR Women of Hope prayer groups, and Ted serves as Mission 66 Project Manager and as a consultant to the global Men of Courage team.
