Brandon Carroll
President
Brandon Carroll was called to international missions at the age of 18 while in his home church in Springdale, AR.  In January of 2004 he went on his first mission's trip for 6 months to the Amazon of Colombia, in the city of Leticia.  Through Youth With a Mission in Leticia he was involved in evangelism Projects throughout the upper Amazon Region.

In March of 2005 he was led to go to the Amazon of Peru to the City of Iquitos.  Upon his arrival to Iquitos the city had a population of 400,000 and roughly 20,000 Christians.  Today Iquitos has upwards of 500,000 to 600,000 people and Christianity has grown at a relatively slow pace.  In 2005 he lucked out and met a very beautiful woman Jackeline.  They married in 2006 and have two jungle sons Tylor, and Michael and one bueatiful daughter Nicole.

He is currently studying through Logos Bible College to receive his ministry degree. He is a member of The Bridge Fellowship in Sugar Land, TX.  He was licensed to the ministry in 2007.  He is currently one of two teaching pastors at Codigo de Cambio church in Iquitos with Joel Lima. 

His passion is seeing the local church of Iquitos awakened to the needs in their communites, tribal groups, and local churches, equipping and to the tribes of the Amazon and around the world. he longs to see churches in the jungle adopt an Acts 1:8 model and vision. His spiritual gifts are teaching and discipleship.

David Mozombite
Missionary - Church Planter
I received Christ into my life at the age of 12.  I began to help my dad in worship at the church he was pasturing.  However at the age of 15 my life took a big turn.

 One of my friends told me about a job that paid well, but didn't give me any other details. Because I really wanted to help my family out I said yes.  Later I found out that it was to transport drugs.  I wanted out but my friend said that he would kill me. One night late as we were making a drop in our boat the police started shooting at us.  I jumped out of the boat and made it back to my village.  There I asked my family to forgive me for what I had done.

I met Brandon When He came to speak in our village and I met him as I took him to our village in our boat.  When Brandon bought a ministry boat 2 years ago he asked me to drive it and guard it.

Since 2013 David has been working with Pedro Shupingahua among the Maijuna tribe where they are currently discipling the new believers.

 While living in the Bora village I met my wife Deysi.  We have 4 children, Sarai, Zamelith, Josué David and Deysi Gracia.
