Missionaries We Support

The Gathering considers it a privilege to support several missionaries. Please join us in praying for our brothers and sisters in Christ, who are sacrficially serving God by serving others.

Roni and Vivian LaCuesta

The LaCuestas serve key roles at Canaan International, a Christian ministry dedicated to building, growing, and sustaining rehabilitation/regeneration centers in Latin America and the Caribbean for individuals with drug and alcohol addictions. Roni currently serves as Canaan's Executive Director and is credited with growing Canaan's first program in Colombia from a small camp into a full-blown community with a church and training center. This successful ministry has transformed the lives of many men and their families, bringing them to a saving faith in Jesus Christ. Please click here to see their newsletter.

Chuck and Joan Dewing
Friends of the Ministry and longtime missionaries to the Philippines, Chuck and Joan have launched into the Port Missionary Ministry. They have found that the cruise ships around the world have many Filippinos on board. Chuck and Joan have found favor and have been given permission to board the ships when they dock. They have been able to establish a church service for the crews. They are presently establishing a base on the island of Malta, which is located off the northern coast of Africa.

Freeman and Shelly Nettles
In Haiti since June 2006, the Nettles work alongside Youth With A Mission to bring the gospel to the residents of St. Marc. Freeman runs a discipleship program for young men, informally called Le Programme (The Program). His goal is to build Godly character and a strong work ethic through both group and individual program activities. Meanwhile, Shelly has a heart for children, running a Kid's Church on Sundays and spending time with kids during the week through neighborhood outreach activities. Shelly is also active in the lives of young women through small groups and one-on-one relationships. Click here to see their newsletter.

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?

And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?

And how shall they hear without a preacher?

And how shall they preach, except they be sent?

As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

- Romans 10:14-15
