OUR MISSIONARIES

ABOUT US Cole and Debbie are currently serving in Lima, Peru as well as helping in other regions as needed. Lima, their home base, is the 2nd largest city built on a desert. They serve at Vida Nueva Church in Sol de la Molina, assisting and raising up leaders as well as church planting in the surrounding region. Cole leads bible studies, uses his real-estate expertise, and helps to assist in implementing administration needs for the church family. Cole and Debbie have 4 children, Liam, Laila, Tate and Wren. Cole and Debbie adopted their youngest two children after nearly 2 years of fostering them.

ABOUT US Tim and Cara serve as Assistant Director of the Project enquiries. Tim is a registered architect and serves as the Director of the ABWE Project enquiries. He and his wife Cara care for, lead, organize, and develop over 20 full and part-time staff, associate staff members and hundreds of volunteers involved in the planning and construction of ministry-related facilities around the world. The team is involved with a range from simple one-room churches to complex, highly technical medical care facilities - all of which support the call to carry out the Great Commission.

ABOUT US Louis and Amber have been faithfully serving in Welkom, South Africa since 2008. They have 3 children, Meredith, Drake and Travis. They spent about 6 years running, building, and establishing children's homes in Welkom to care for orphaned and abandoned children. The passion of Louis and Amber to make disciples of Jesus led to a partnership with a local church. In 2014 God led the O'Tools to transition from full-time children's home ministry to discipleship work with young people in the community at large. In partnership with Pastor Joshua Bolaji and the Heffners, Louis and Amber began focusing on reaching and discipling youth from all over the city of Welkom by establishing Unashamed Youth Ministries and Thirst Discipleship.

ABOUT US Steve and Kelley are church planters in Lima, Peru. They have been serving in Lima since 2000. Their hearts' passion is to see God start a church planting movement that will support a global missions-sending movement out of Peru. To date, their church has started 2 church plants and is praying toward starting a third. (This may be outdated information...I have not been able to get any response back from them about updates.) Steve and Kelley have been blessed with five wonderful kids who love the Lord and desire to serve Him. Their son, Joseph, and his wife Kimberly serve alongside them through a sports ministry. The desire of the Frerichs' heart is to be able to serve the Savior in reaching the lost for Christ with all of their kids and their families.

ABOUT US Joseph and Kimberly Frerichs, along with their daughter Sadie and son Roman, are missionaries to Lima, Peru with Ambassadors Football. Their main focus is using soccer as a tool to share the Gospel. They partner with local churches to help them reach their communities through a tool that is very welcoming to many people that may not be interested in church events. They are also very excited to work alongside Joseph's parents' church in Sol de La Molina and bring sports ministry into each of the churches that they have planted.
