Our Story

A Family All In for the Forgotten

After a career serving as a U.S. Army First Sergeant, Jeremy Cole felt a deeper calling — not away from service, but deeper into it. Together with his wife Johanna and their daughters Jerrah and Josaphene, the Coles joined Free Burma Rangers, a humanitarian relief organization operating in some of the most dangerous and forgotten conflict zones on earth.

Based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Jeremy serves as Training Coordinator — equipping local relief teams to reach communities that the world has largely forgotten. Johanna leads logistics, ensuring that the mission runs. Their daughters grow up on the front lines of compassion, learning what it means to live a life poured out for others.

Cole Family Missions exists to connect people like you to work like this — so that together, we can bring relief, hope, and the presence of Christ to people who desperately need all three.
