She will be coming alongside of Ruth and Hector Aragon and be involved primarily in the Child Care Plus program which reaches over 500 children in 17 locations throughout Guatemala. She will also assist with administration and social media, host short-term teams and potentially run summer camps.
Jeremy and Teresa Feller, Missionaries to Ethiopia
Since 2003 Jeremy and Teresa have been serving in Ethiopia. They work in training and releasing church planters, discipling young leaders, Bible college ministry, and on the leadership team of Addis Christian Life Assembly in Addis Ababa. God is and has been working among the unreached people in Ethiopia. People from a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds are coming to Christ and planting churches. Jeremy and Teresa's hearts beat to see the transforming gospel of Jesus Christ expand into the unreached portions of Africa that have yet to be engaged by the gospel, with a particular focus on North and West Africa. They also seek to raise the next generation of missionaries to expand the kingdom of God.
