This precious family work to plant new churches and disciple and train brothers to do the same among a
people group called the Quechuan, located in a remote canyon community in southern Peru. Their main need is to prepare pastors and lay leaders, as well as faithful youth and women of mature faith. They stress this because many so-called “reached” people groups no longer have a witness due to lack of indigenous spiritual leadership. Brad has been working on setting up a radio tower in order to get the Gospel out over the airwaves.
