They have been called to the ministry evangelism and discipleship.
Kyle has a God given zeal to teach and train local churches in Chile how to effectively evangelize and disciple new believers, enabling them to take the saving power of the gospel to their families, neighborhoods, and beyond the borders of Chile. Kyle also plans to develop LDS specific evangelism and discipleship classes that will equip Chilean Christian’s with the knowledge and skills necessary to communicate the true gospel of Jesus Christ to the LDS population in Chile.
The Lord has impressed upon Brandy’s heart to take the gospel to the women of Chile through compassion and social welfare ministries. Though her primary ministry will be ministering to the hearts of their two children as they homeschool, she is very excited that God has opened a door for her to potentially serve at the FLORECE Prenatal and Family counseling center in Iquique where they minister to the needs of women in the community. Brandy also hopes to host women’s Bible studies for these women. Their greatest need being the lifesaving power of the gospel.
