Francis Frizelle
Support Raising Strategies Manager
Francis and Andrea have been involved in ministry for many years but married and formally entered the mission field together in 2013. Francis, originally from the UK, but he and Andrea have primarily served in Andrea’s home country of Guatemala, where they currently also help serve with Pure Joy Missions. Over the years, God has grown in them a heart for serving other Kingdom workers, enabling those workers to better fulfill their callings. In 2024, the Frizelles formally joined Exago, with Francis focusing on developing new resources for Kingdom workers and training others in personal support raising.
The Frizelles are a bilingual family with four children—Charlie, JJ, Liam, and Lily—who bring plenty of adventure to their lives. As a family, they enjoy playing games like Carcassonne and 7 Wonders, watching Marvel movies, and spending time swimming or gaming together.
Francis plays acoustic guitar on the worship team at their church, while Andrea helps with the children’s ministry. Their passion for serving Kingdom workers reflects their mission to empower and equip others to fulfill their God-given callings.
Makanalani
Paresa Marts
Creative Visionary
Executive Assistant
Makanalani didn’t grow up as a Christian, though deep down she always believed God was there. Hardships early in life caused her to struggle with faith, but in 2020, after moving back to her birthplace, Maui, she began her journey with Christ and realized God had been watching over her all along.
Her passion for serving others led her to teach at Kahului Baptist Preschool before joining Exago in 2024. She has also been involved in her local foster care community through Village of Hope Ministries since 2021, helping provide support and encouragement to children and families in need. Along the way, God placed a calling toward missions on her heart, and she is thrilled to be part of Exago, equipping Kingdom Workers and engaging in Great Commission work.
Fun fact: Makanalani was adopted and raised as an only child but later discovered she has ten siblings in Hawaii! In her free time, she enjoys being outdoors, caring for animals, and spending time with her ohana.
