Ecuador Mission

Fred and Arlene Jonkman serve in Quito, Ecuador in a mission overseen by the Brantford Free Reformed Church.  Their primary focus is educational and family ministry, developing Reformed educational materials, teaching at conferences, and directing a Reformed Study Center. The Jonkmans have also been active in the local Grace Reformed Church in Quito. Both Fred and Arlene grew up in the Free Reformed Churches and this mission, coordinated with various Word and Deed programs, has been blessed to the deepening of the Reformed faith and network in Ecuador and other Spanish speaking South American communities. As the Jonkmans are planning soon to retire from this work, a new couple, Josh & Michelle Vogel, will be taking their place, though working in a different area in close connection with a local Christian doctor there.

Diaconate Ministries

Consider the following...

In the climate of our modern church, it is essential for us to realize that God’s Word is the central gift Christ gives to the church. The major gifts of the New Testament era were given either to write that word (apostles), apply it (prophets) or teach it (pastors and teachers).
