Our Missions
“Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.” (Psalm 96:2-4)
Bolivia
April Melgar, a graduate of Toronto Baptist Seminary, met her husband, Jose Melgar, on a missions trip to Bolivia. Together they are working to build an orphanage with a water treatment plant in a remote community in Bolivia. By God’s grace they are providing a loving home for orphans, abandoned and abused children, as well as children who have been living in prison.
How will your gifts be used?
- $50 – Provide a mattress for a child in the orphanage
- $400 – Build a well for a house of 12 children
- $600 – Purchase a cow to provide milk for the children
One-time gifts and monthly donations will be used to help the children on an ongoing basis.

Philippines
Betty and Peter Green met, by “divine design” in the late 90s. Betty and her first husband, Don, served both in Quebec and Mozambique. Peter and his first wife, Chris, served in Mexico in translation ministry beginning in the 70s. In 1997, Don died of ALS and Chris died of cancer. Mutual friends decided that Betty and Peter should meet and the rest, as they say, is history. Betty and Peter have been serving together in translation ministry in the Philippines since 2000. The work of the translation of the Scriptures and other resources into local dialects is an exacting one, requiring hours of checking and rechecking to guarantee accuracy before going to print.
