Reaching Out through Missionaries
In the spirit of our vision
"Discover Christ and Grow in Him",
we not only consider our own growth, but also
the spiritual discovery and growth of those
outside of our church, city and sometimes even
our country. God has blessed us with people
who are working towards this on our behalf.
We'd like to introduce you to a few of them:
Ray & Ann Kapteyn, Wycliffe Pilot & Translator (Cameroon)
Ray and Ann Kapteyn served as missionaries in Brazil for six years. In the fall of 2006 they moved with their three children to Cameroon, West Africa where they are continuing their work with Wycliffe Bible Translators. Ray serves as a pilot-mechanic, flying missionaries to remote locations in Cameroon and surrounding countries. Ann is planning to work as an exegetical consultant, which means she’ll work with Cameroonian Bible translators, helping them to thoroughly understand Scripture passages before they translate them.
