Roger & Ivis Guillen

Serving in Avant Ministries for almost 10 years.

 

The People They Serve

Our focus is church planing and reaching the Muslim neighbors. We support the Davao Bible Community Church's evangelism and discipleship programs in urban and rural communities in Davao region.

   

How They Got Started

While serving in our home church in Honduras, we got related with mission exposure and mentorship from several missionaries including Tim & Julie Nelson and other friends as Matt & Melinda Brady. There was a mission conference in 2005 that took place in our home church were we were called and trusted by the Lord to serve. It took us around 13 years of preparations to step into transcultural mission service.
