Home Church: Cedar Grove Baptist Church – Surrey BC
Personal Journey | Cecilia was born and raised in Central America but moved to Canada in her early teens. She grew up in a religious family environment but discovered a relationship with Jesus as she started reading His Word for the first time in the late 90’s while in Thunder Bay, ON. Her relationship with the Lord grew stronger when she moved to BC and found a church family that walked alongside her as she went through a journey of not only spiritual growth but also of emotional healing. Through their encouragement and support, Cecilia was able to attend Millar College of the Bible for 4 years, including an internship in Bolivia with EFCCM (now ServeBeyond). It was during these 4 years that her calling to full-time ministry overseas was solidified and began her career service in El Salvador. She was blessed with a beautiful, adopted daughter in 2015. The Lord has used the blessing of a child later in life to His glory as she continues to reach out to the community.
Current Ministry | Cecilia works in her native country of El Salvador where she reaches out to kids and families through a holistic ministry called “El Ro-i Ministries”. The name for this ministry is taken from Genesis 16:14, as it is Cecilia’s passion for the people of this community to have a personal encounter with the Lord who sees them and to disciple them in the Word of God. This takes place in a rural and poverty-stricken community consisting of about 650 families. Some of the projects include: kid’s and youth Bible Ministries, adult Bible Studies, a Church plant, a Christian Kindergarten Project, hosting the APD house building team from Alberta, and many more ministries in this rapidly growing work of the Lord.

Home Church: White Rock Baptist Church – White Rock BC
Personal Journey | Frank and Susan grew up in Zimbabwe and married in 1971. In 1980 they immigrated to Canada to escape what was known as “the time of unrest”, leaving everything behind to start a new life. They now live in Surrey, BC. Over the last 45 years they have been working yearly in Zimbabwe. They have seen a significant decline in the lifestyles of people, especially in children. 95%of the people in Zimbabwe are unemployed and over 2 million are living and dying from HIV/AIDS, leaving many in the current generation without parents, food, or the means/knowledge to support themselves. In 2020 it is expected that 60% of the population will face starvation without intervention, Frank and Susan have a passion to help people in general but it was when the Holy Spirit stirred their hearts that their mission to widows and orphans became a reality in a more meaningful way. They formed the Zimbabwe Gecko Society in 2008 which came under the direction of EFCCM (now ServeBeyond) in 2010. Their ministry now oversees whole communities which other organizations are now copying.
Current Ministry | Susan and Frank hope to spend 3 months in Zimbabwe each year. Zimbabwe Gecko has had great success in assisting communities to become self-sustaining by adding the 6 components of health: Clean Water (having access to clean drinking water is essential); Food Security (Support sustainable farming programs which include Farming God’s Way); Education (Support building of schools and education); Education for Adults (Carpentry, sewing, farming, welding, painting and more); Health Centers (Develop and improve capacity so locals can receive health care services in their own communities including a clinic and teaching Basic First Aid & Midwifery along with a medical team from Canada each year); and Church (build church and encourage participation through Love and the Lord’s Word.) Many have come to know the Lord and in turn serve their community. The plan is ongoing development of services that will grow with the needs of the people and the capacity of care providers. We have to date supported 36 communities which accounts for thousands of people gaining independence. We have also added container ministry through MEMO which helps equip all our programs, new and old.

Personal Journey | Ann was raised a vegetable farmer’s daughter in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, USA. She asked Jesus into her heart at DVBS when she was 6. After graduating from the local public high school she completed Bible college in Maine and then served as Director of Christian Education at her home church in Portland, Maine, now Community of Grace (EFCA). Sensing the call of God to serve in missions she began seminary study at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS) in greater Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Dale was born and raised in Japan as a missionary kid of Canadian parents. His mother led him to the Lord when he was 7. Most of his childhood schooling was in Japan (in English) but he graduated from secondary school in Dawson Creek BC while his parents were on “furlough.” After two years at Trinity Western University he worked in aviation electronics at Vancouver airport and was beginning his engineering study at UBC. But the Lord had other plans and nudged him toward returning to his country of birth as a missionary. So he changed direction, completed undergraduate study in philosophy at SFU, and began seminary study first at Regent College then at TEDS. So it was that in the summer of 1979 Ann & Dale met over breakfast at TEDS seminary. Ann ended up earning an M.A. in Christian Education, and Dale an M.Div. (missions emphasis) and a Ph.D. (systematic theology). They were married in 1981. For their first year of marriage, and as part of his seminary program, Dale did a full year pastoral internship at Abbotsford EFC, now Mill Lake Church. They moved to Japan in 1984 and began their missionary career with the EFCA mission. In 2004 they transferred to the EFCCM (now ServeBeyond). They have planted two EFC of Japan churches, one in greater Nagoya city and the other in Tokyo, and they have pastored a third. All three of their children are married and live in the USA. They all love to visit Japan where they were raised or born. Dale & Ann have two grandchildren with a third on the way.

Home Church: Christian Life Community Church – Abbotsford BC
Personal Journey | Adam first went to Ukraine on a short-term missions trip in 2002 and fell in love with the kids and ministry the Ukrainian team was doing. For the next 5 years he joined teams each summer, and also led3 summer teams to do ministry in orphanages. Luba has been part of the Ukrainian mission team since 2002 working with the orphan kids when not studying for University. In 2007, Adam moved to Ukraine to follow God’s calling to work in the orphanage ministry in Kryvyi Rih. Adam & Luba met while working on missions teams, fell in love, and were married in 2008.
Current Ministry | Adam is the leader of the orphanage ministry team “Rays of Love” working in 2 orphanages in the city of Kryvyi Rih. The team consists of Adam & Luba, 3 full-time Ukrainian workers and 4 volunteers, 3 who are kids that grew up in the orphanages they work in! They are in the orphanages 2 days a week (the other days they work out of the ministry centre) creating relationships with the kids through Bible studies, games and crafts. They are also in the midst of building a ministry centre, partnered with the E-Free Church Plants in Kryvyi Rih. Mid-January 2019 they completed their smaller building (Larger building is still under construction) and now meet there for Graduate, Young Moms and other ministries. This centre allows “ROL” to expand their current ministries and work more with kids who are no longer in the orphanages (kids in trades schools, universities, young families, single moms). The government is shutting down orphanages and placing kids in foster families so each year there are less and less kids in the orphanages to work with. This centre was built at the perfect time! The ministry is changing but God is opening new doors and giving new ideas of how to work with the orphan kids once they are no longer in the orphanages. Once kids leave the orphanages they are at a higher risk of being pulled into prostitution, drugs, alcohol, crimes and suicide. Thisis acritical time for the ministry to step in and try to help educate and mentor these kids to make wise decisions in their lives. Currently, Adam and Luba reside in Canada due to the conflict in Ukraine.

This is a natural result because of living outside of their passport country often in boarding school situations. The project is designed to raise money to help MK’s reacclimate to their passport country and understand where and how they fit to fulfill the special role that God has given to them. Money raised through this project will be used to facilitate MK ministry in our ServeBeyond conferences and to send MK’s to “Reboot”, a program hosted by the MORE Network to help MK’s process their experiences and adjust to life in their passport country.
