Since 2008, the Andersens have lived in East Africa, specifically in Northern Kenya, near the Ethiopian border. They work among the Gabra people group, a nomadic camel herding people, who have little Christian influence or knowledge of Jesus Christ. The Gabra are less than 1 percent reached, so their work involves evangelism, discipleship, and using practical means to open doors in unreached areas.
Eddie is involved in overseeing several daily Bible studies in areas with no church presence. Every day of the week two evangelists go to small villages in the area to share a portion of Scripture to groups that gather. Eddie also manages the running of a radio and water drilling projects.
Rachel is a midwife and is involved in caring for women and newborn babies. She also runs a program to help women and children who are treated as outcasts by the local culture, teaching literacy, Bible, and practical skills.
We always appreciate prayer for the ongoing work in Northern Kenya. Every day includes the business of living in a community of unreached people with few resources. We are often involved in decisions, which impact people's health and well-being, as well as sharing the Gospel on a day-to-day basis. Pray with us the Gabra would have open hearts and many would come to Christ. Pray for Gabra believers to be faithful and to share the Gospel with those around them. Pray for our Kenyan partners who also evangelize and disciple on a daily basis.
Marco & Lydia Garibaldi
Marco & Lydia are currently on deputation with Baptist Mid-Missions, to serve with EBI (Editorial Bautista Independiente, Sebring FL). The desire of EBI is to equip and train national Spanish speakers all across Latin America through the production or translation and the publication of doctrinally sound resources for the national church and ministries: commentaries, Bible studies, Sunday School curriculum, counseling materials, etc.
Once they raise their full support and move to Florida, Marco will serve as the Director of Project Logistics and IT, and Lydia will serve as Senior Editor. Please connect with them via email to request their monthly update letters.

Jonathan and Noella Kleis
We are Jonathan and Noella Kleis, serving with ABWE as church planters in northern Italy since 2005. After completing language study in Perugia, we relocated to the north of Italy in 2007 and worked in partnership with an existing Italian evangelical church. Then in 2013, we began a new ministry in an area with no gospel witness.
The church officially launched in 2017 with a group of new believers, and since then God has been blessing by opening many doors for evangelism in our community as well as maturing the faith of church members. We ask that you pray with us for God to continue this work, especially that He will make fruitful our evangelistic efforts by bringing many Italians to faith in Christ.

Tim and Charlene Miskimen
Tim and Charlene Miskimen live in the city of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. Tim teaches systematic theology for Asia Biblical Theological Seminary of Cornerstone University. They have been living in Thailand and teaching full-time since 2008. The students of ABTS are teachers, pastors, lay leaders, and missionaries from all over SE Asia. With a hybrid-learning format, students begin with online classes and videos, followed by a week of in-person classes, which are held in several locations in Thailand, the Philippines, and India. When students successfully complete their classes, they are granted Master's degrees from Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, MI. These US-accredited degrees enable our students to become well-equipped leaders in their churches and communities, strengthening the growing churches of SE Asia.
Tim and Charlene have four children, all of whom Charlene schooled at home. Three (Nathan, Matthew, and Ellie) currently live in the US and one (Cai) lives with Tim and Charlene in Chiang Mai.

Rob & Brenda Oetman
Serving through Independent Faith Missions in Seoul, South Korea, Rob Oetman began co-pastoring at the, then, newly established Seoul First Baptist Church (SFBC) in 1999. In 2004 God allowed the Seoul Baptist Bible College and Seminary to be founded as a ministry of SFBC. After 13 years, Rob was officially called to be pastor of Yongsan Baptist Church of Seoul. The Oetmans have been — for many years! — the only independent Baptist missionaries serving in Seoul, which has a population of over 15 million people.
Thank you for helping us continue to preach Christ and disciple converts here in this enormous city!
Tom Osbeck
I run a ministry called Ignight Your Faith Ministry in the outskirts of Port au Prince in a very poor village. Tin roofs, dirt floors, no electricity or bathrooms, no water. We deliver 14,000 gallons of clean water a week to these folks, reaching about 1500 people.
Our ministry includes a church, sports ministry, kids ministry, door-to-door evangelism, and so much more. We also have a weekly women’s prison ministry with over 260 women. There we hold a Bible study and deliver three trucks of water at each visit (10,500 gal). We try to fill these women's prescriptions, as we can, too. Personally, I care for 18 kids, ages 6–19, in my home — they are my family. Our goal through every avenue of ministry is to share the gospel and make disciples.
Rich & Julia Rudolph
The Rudolphs began their ministry in Germany in March 2013. They planted a church in St. Wendel and — after almost 9 years — finished that work and searched for another church plant to help. In December 2022, they moved to Leipzig, Germany, to help an existing church plant become a sending church. The Rudolphs are focused on helping national pastors build up a sending ministry to plant churches throughout Germany. Specifically, they are focused on training future church planters in their home church, as well as training international workers to plant churches from the church in Leipzig.
