ECUADOR – Nate and Michelle Brown
Nate and Michelle serve in Guayaquil, Ecuador. They focus on church planting in poverty stricken areas. Recently they have focused on two churches. The first, Ciudad de Dios and another in Monte Sinai. Both neighborhoods are urban slums, with many needs relating to poverty, health, education, safety, drugs, relational needs, and deep spiritual need. They want to help build the Lord's kingdom in Guayaquil. NLFC participates financially in the missionary work of Nate and Michelle, as well as having scheduled short term trips to Ecuador.
ECUADOR - HENRY AND IVONNE SMITH
Following a “holy hunch,” Henry and Ivonne arrived in April of 2010 with no more than a prayer, two tarps, and a few volunteers to one of the unreached slums of Guayaquil, Ecuador. The urban slums of the world, are the fastest growing unreached people group on earth, made up in large part of women and children who are some of the most receptive to the gospel. NLFC establishes missionary relationships in Ecuador beginning in May, 2024. We partner with both the Smith Family and Nate and Michelle Brown
GUATEMALA - Randall and Jackie Darby
From 1998 through 2012 the Darby’s served as Guatemala Country Directors for Go To Nations. They brought oversight and care to the team of missionaries that God entrusted to them. During that time, God gave them a vision to build and establish a Ministry Base, which is now a reality and located just outside of Guatemala City. This awesome ministry tool continues to be a huge blessing to many and is used for various ministry gatherings as well as hosting teams. Initially they started the ministry El Oasis and for 17 years shared the Gospel with women who worked in prostitution. Now they are more passionate than ever to see people’s lives transformed by God’s saving grace. As directors of Start With One Global they are involved in food distribution and are focused on igniting the passion of Christ in people’s lives. NLFC has participated financially in the missionary work of the Darby’s for over 30 years. With boots on the ground, NLFC has also sent members of our church family to Guatemala to assist in food distribution and evangelization.
