Tony and Mary Ann Bianchi

With WIM since 1990, Tony and Mary Ann served the Lord in Southeast Asia ministering the gospel, training and mentoring young leaders, establishing a children’s home for at-risk girls, and providing pastoral care (member care) for missionaries. Following five years of ministry in the Philippines, the Bianchis served WIM for several years in recruiting, training, and publication work. From 2000-2010, the Bianchis ministered in Thailand before returning to WIM to develop the Member Care department and provide pastoral care for missionaries in need of debriefing, coaching, marriage enrichment, and emotional and spiritual healing and encouragement. Tony and Mary Ann’s hearts' desire is for missionaries to be emotionally healthy and spiritually mature in order to glorify God through fulfilling and effective cross-cultural service. Married in 1963, Tony and Mary Ann raised their three children in Illinois. They have five grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
