Meet the Families

Our staff members are the heart and soul of our ministry. They live and work among different Native American tribes, building relationships, planting churches, discipling believers, and mentoring leaders. They also engage in various community development projects, such as providing education, health care, food, and clothing. They face many challenges and hardships, but they also experience many joys and blessings. They are faithful and courageous servants of God who need our prayers and support.
