Symon and Marry Frank, along with their son, Praise, come from the southern region of Malawi in the Mangochi district. Symon has four brothers and three sisters. Marry has two sisters and two brothers. Marry’s mother passed away, though her father still lives in Mangochi. Symon completed his high school degree in 2021. Like many young ladies in Malawi, Marry did not complete her high school education, which makes DTI another great learning experience and opportunity for her. Both Symon and Marry farm at home in order to provide for themselves. They have both come to DTI in order to become more dedicated disciples of Jesus. When asked what they hope to learn while here, they expressed a desire to mature spiritually so as to improve their own personal lives, as well as to better serve and aid the church, their community, and country. When not working, both Marry and Symon enjoy reading books and listening to music. Symon hopes to become a preacher, and Marry wants to teach women the Word of God.

Symon: Mathew 28:19 - "It always reminds me that I have work to do."
Marry: Revelations 22:12 - "It gives me hope that Jesus is really coming."
