About Us

For the past 14 years we've been working in a city outside of Caracas, called Guatire. We have been involved in various church plants since 1986, when Brent first went to Venezuela in an internship. He then returned to the States to finish his education, returning to Venezuela in 1989 as a full time missionary. Brent and Yoisa were married in August 1990, and started their new ministry in La Dolorita, Petare, a small suburb in Caracas. After that church was started, they moved to Guatire, in January of 1994, and began a new ministry there. After 6 years, a new church was born, Guatire Christian Church. That is when we decided to return to USA for our extended fourlough, and Brent pursued his Master degree. After two years in the U.S., we returned to Venezuela, to the same town in Guatire, to began yet another church plant. After four years of work, three small groups were started, one in Caracas, with the leadership of Steve and Priscilla Dye, one in Guatire, a small house church lead by Oscar Abreu, and another house church in the same town where we started our ministry, 16 years ago, La Dolorita, lead by Rafael Rodriguez. We felt at this point that a circle in our ministry have been drawn after all those years. Lots of dear friends, lots of sisters and brothers in Christ, and the Joy of a work for the Lord. We know that our work is not even finished yet, and the Lord has lots of things for us to do still, but at this moment we feel as if the Lord has been calling us to another land. As of January of 2007 we started a new position with Mid-South Christian College, in Memphis, Tenneesse. We can not express our gratitud to all the people in Venezuela who have been making our ministry a wonderful place to be, and we rejoice in all the Lord has been blessing us in all this years. We hope to be able to continue to support the work in Venezuela as much as we can from here, and to be able to return during the summers to take groups or to help in any other area our new ministry will allow us to.
