MissionGO Missionary Development

God has allowed us to have an awesome ministry with Word of Life starting in 2003.  While leading Short Term Mission Teams around the world.  Our hearts had been burdened for the people of every country we have ministered in.  One of the many areas we led many teams to were the remote river communities in Brazil.  We felt God leading us there to work with those remote river communities.  God allowed us to live and minister in Brazil from 2013 to 2018.  While working in Brazil, we were able to work on the Audio Bible Project and various other ministries while in Brazil.  Since over 80% of the river people are functionally illiterate, the Solar Audio Bibles were an invaluable part of our ministry in Brazil.  In 2016 we began creating and using the Word of Life Quiet Time in audio format for the people to listen to on the Audio Bible Players.

God has opened a new ministry opportunity and redirected our Hearts to serve in mission work with Global Outreach Mission (GOM) DBA MissionGO.  This was a long and difficult decision after 16+ wonderful years of ministry with Word of Life, but after much prayer and consideration, we felt God's direction and call to GOM in many ways.  Although we love Word of Life and the people in Brazil where God was allowing us to minister, God has redirected our calling.  Our heart's desire is to be in the area where we could have the most impact for the sake of the gospel.  As we considered our four hands working in Brazil (Lesi's two hands and my two hands) we began to quickly realize that God was allowing us the opportunity to be strategically involved in training and sending out dozens of new hands for ministry work each year.  We quickly realized that dozens of new missionaries going out every year out to various countries all around the world would have more impact than our 4 hands working in Brazil.
