Over 400,000 people live in the area they will be ministering in, but only 0.5% of them are Christians. The Church’s priorities are evangelism, discipleship, and mid-week Bible studies in addition to their weekly services. Kyle will be teaching some of the weekends, but he will also be serving as the facilities “maintenance man.” Anna’s primary focus will be on discipling women, but she will be expanding the Church’s English ministry, planning events, and helping with administrative needs.
