They’re Here!

The American Baptist missionaries that will be living in the United States and Puerto Rico have arrived!  During the next several months, they’ll be traveling to meet with the folks that love and support them with their prayers, donations and letters of encouragement.  It’s a great time for the missionaries to make new friends, renew connections with churches and deepen existing friendships.

Wondering which missionaries are here?  Here's the list.

The 2012 class of missionaries are:
Gary & Mylinda Baits        Costa Rica
Mercy Barnes                     Mexico (Baja North)
Dan & Sarah Chetti            Lebanon
Debbie Kelsey                    Italy
David & Laura Parajon      Nicaragua
Ingrid Roldán-Román        Panama
Chuck & Ramona Shawver    Mexico
Judy Sutterlin                    China
