South Sudan — Tyrone Mynheir

In 2008, Tyrone Mynhier was invited to teach South Sudanese refugees at the Ethiopian/Sunset International Bible Institute School of Preaching in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. He served as a teacher at the school until July 2011. After completing his teaching duties in 2011, Tyrone met with the Ethiopian brethren to discuss the possibility of relocating the school to Gambella, Ethiopia. Gambella is where the students resided in refugee camps and villages.

The Ethiopian brethren agreed to the proposal. With their blessing, the new venture became independent of the Ethiopian work. Tyrone assumed the role of Director of the School and relocated it to Gambella, Ethiopia, in January 2012. This marked the birth of the Southern Sudan Mission.

American Samoa, Randy English, Forest Park Church of Christ

Randy English and his wife Sharon became Christians in 1986 at Fort Smith, Arkansas. They immediately became involved in personal work and teaching Bible classes and were encouraged to enter a school for further Bible training. In 1988, Randy graduated from International Bible College with a BA in Bible & Missions. In 1989, Randy and Sharon moved to American Samoa, a country from which they could reach many other Pacific Island nations with the Gospel. Their 5 children were born and raised on Tutuila Island.

Randy and Sharon continue laboring to spread the Gospel in this remote area of the world, establishing indigenous, self-supporting congregations of the churches of Christ. Since 1989 their work has been overseen by the elders at the Forest Park Church of Christ (fpcc.org). The English family works closely with short-term workers to evangelize, edify, and equip, making regular mission trips from their home base in American Samoa to other Pacific Island nations. In 2004 Randy and Sharon established the Pacific Broadcast Network, which has now grown to operating 8 radio stations in the Pacific and in the US, including Churches of Christ Community Radio.

Belgium, Jean Marie Frerot, Sand Springs Church of Christ

Jean-Marie and Suzanne Frerot. Jean-Marie and Suzanne have been preaching in Verviers, Belgium for over 50 years, the area where both were raised. It is the French-speaking part of the country, so many of the members have come from French-speaking areas throughout the world, especially Africa. The congregation in Verviers meets in their own building near the center of the city and attendance is approaching 100, often times leaving standing room only. An upper area of the building is used as an extension learning center for students from Freed-Hardeman college. While the contributions of the Verviers congregation cover the expenses of the building, it is not enough to support Jean and Suzanne’s living expenses, which is where Sands Springs has been able to help throughout the years. Members of the Sand Springs congregation have visited the Frerots and the Verviers congregation and another visit will take place in 2014. Jean-Marie and Suzanne have three grown children and several grand-children in France, the Middle East and in Virginia.

Brazil, Giovanni Vantuil, Kingwood Church of Christ

Giovanni Vantuil is the local director at CHIE. He has been the heart and soul of the institute and teaching staff from the founding of the institute. For many years he was the primary teacher and individually responsible for the teaching and training of the students. In fact, it was the sponsor’s concern for his physical and spiritual well-being that led the elders to seek some relief for Giovanni as they recognized the excessive demands being made of him as both a school of preaching director and teacher as well as a missionary in the greater Belo Horizonte region. Giovanni is well regarded throughout the Brazilian church and enjoys a stellar reputation in the area. He is often the first call people will make when there is a need or crisis within one of the local congregations. He is known not only for his knowledge but also for his conciliatory spirit. He is an excellent teacher and still carries the bulk of the teaching responsibility at the Institute. My addition to the staff not only provided him some relief but also allowed him to devote some time to personal discipleship, and he has become a point of reference in Brazil in the area of a balanced, responsible discipleship ministry.
