Overseas Partners

CARL & KATHY MOST (Cuba & the Caribbean) – On their website, Carl & Kathy write, “As a couple we seek to love and honor God by placing emphasis on a Christ centered life. We are committed to a balanced walk where truth and love go hand-in-hand and where surrender and obedience to Christ is our daily desire. We highly value teamwork and love nothing more than equipping and encouraging national believers for ministry. Following Christ’s example, we seek to make the least, the last, and the lost our priority, trusting the Gospel to bring hope and life to the most difficult places of society.”

TRAINING PASTORS INTERNATIONAL (Greg Moore) – The TPI website indicates, “Since 2003, TPI has trained, discipled, and mentored thousands of national pastors in Central America, South America, Cuba, and Dominican Republic. The mission the Lord has given us is the only true mission of His church given in Matthew 28:19-20. The way we have been called to accomplish this mission is by training national pastors and equipping them to train other national pastors. It is our conviction that a national can reach other nationals better than a cross-cultural missionary. We exist, therefore, to equip national pastors and leaders to accomplish the Great Commission wherever they are. If we train pastors to win souls, disciple the saved, and train others to do the same, we have applied the spiritual principle that yields spiritual fruit. (2 Timothy 2:2)”

DANIEL & SARAH BARRETT (Costa Rica) – The Barretts describe the birth of Horizon Church on their website, “In January 2009 they moved to Costa Rica and began serving different ministries. In the summer of 2012 they recognized the growing need for an international church in Jaco. Later that same year they stepped out in faith and began pursuing the vision that God had giving them for that church. In addition, they continued ministering to the local Spanish speakers through a weekly kids club, youth group and Women’s Bible study. After months of praying and visioning, they began an English speaking Bible Study as a ministry of Iglesia Radical, a local Spanish church. From this God-given vision, Horizon Church was born.”

MAKUMBI JOHNSON (Uganda) ZoomInfo.com has a listing for Victory Living Word Church in Kawempe, Uganda and describes the church as follows: 

Victory Living Word Church was opened in 1992 by Pastor Makumbi Johnson and his wife, Anna. Our church is located in Kawempe Mbogo, a Moslem community (approximately 95% Moslem) and is about six miles North of Kampala (the capital of Uganda). Uganda is not a Moslem country, and it is estimated that only 12% are Moslems, out of the population of 28 million. However, Moslems usually settle together and Kawempe Mbogo is one of those communities. Evangelism in this community is not easy from a human perspective. We have suffered many things; however, our Lord stood with us through all the adversities. Our Lord can overcome any adversity and we are always encouraged by God’s law of assignment. “What we have been assigned to do will determine the affliction and blessings, friends and enemies in our lives” – so be it. Even today, Pastor Makumbi Johnson bears the scars and shrapnel of a hand grenade; to God be the glory. We began our church meetings in a house. We moved our services under a tree, then to a bamboo structure. God later provided a wooden structure for our church, and today, we are now gathering in a two thousand seater building.


NATHAN & MARLLORYS ARCE (Venezuela) – In 2007, the Arce family arrived in Venezuela and planted the Open Door Baptist Church (La Puerta Abierta). The Arce family has set about the following goals: 1) Win souls; 2) Disciple new converts: 3) Train National Leadership; 4) Start new churches. Venezuela is a very poor country, and as such, many people go hungry. The Arces also lead the Feed the Children Ministry.
