Terry & Jennie Dalrymple
Terry is the founder and coordinator of the Global CHE Network, with ministries in over 121 countries. CHE stands for Community Health Evangelism, and is an effective ministry strategy that integrates evangelism, discipleship, and church planting with community health and development, serving impoverished communities in urban and rural settings around the world. Through CHE many people have become followers of Jesus, and many communities have been lifted out of cycles of poverty and disease. It is the Dalrymple's goal to catalyze teams to enable a million villages to come out of the cycle of poverty and disease by the year 2033. This is known as the "Million Village Challenge." Terry and Jeannie's son, Tim, previously served as the Eastmont Worship Pastor. Eastmont Global Partner since 1985. https://chenetwork.org; www.millionvillage.org

Bruce Tissell
Bruce Tissell has served for 30 years with WorldVenture in north Brazil in church planting, youth work, training pastors and leaders, and as a seminary professor. As the Brazilian church has matured, Bruce has seen the mission's role transition from direct evangelism to a support and equipping role. At this time, the church's greatest need is to train pastors to shepherd flocks of believers throughout Brazil. Four years ago Bruce became the Director of the Baptist Seminary in Teresina. Eastmont Global Partner since 1993. https://worldventure.com/pworker/4000-707-tissell-bruce/

Majority Muslim Country
This family of four lives in a majority Muslim country. The husband is the director of an agricultural training team, which, through improving the technology for greenhouse gardening, increases the harvest of fresh fruits and vegetables. These are then given to local Christian churches which distribute them to those in need. In addition to providing much-needed food, this opens the door to personal relationships and sharing about Jesus. A number of people have come to believe in Jesus as a result. Eastmont Global Partner since 1997.
