Tim and Sarah Downs
Per Tim “Sarah and I want to move our family to Ivory Coast, West Africa and create a training center for pastors and their families to come and learn to care for plants and animals in a sustainable way. While at the training center pastors will also be working on cultivating relationships with people in the community.
Our desire is for people from all walks of life to know that the pastors home and the church are places of refuge and peace. Knowing that if some one has a need they can go to the pastors house and he will do everything in his power to meet that need and minister to that individual and/or community.
1 Corinthians 15:58 talks about being steadfast and unmovable always abounding in the Lord’s work. Our desire with the training center is to create a firm foundation for pastors and their families so they do not have to worry about where their next meal is coming from. In doing so, we have provided them with a steadfast root system as they labor in the work of the Lord.”

The Taylors New York City
Ron and Susan felt the call to urban church planting during Ron’s sophomore year at Baptist Bible College. After graduating and serving for four years at their sending church, they arrived in New York City in 2008 with a vision to plant 5 churches in each of the 5 boroughs of NYC. God has already used them to launch two works: one in Brooklyn and the other in Queens. Knowing one of God’s greatest tools is the local church, they are excited about the team God has put together to reach the world through New York City.
Ron and Susan have two teens, Noah and Ally, who are both heavily involved in their ministry. They are quickly approaching an empty nest and savor any spare time with their kids by sharing a common love for coffee and travel.
