Randy and Diana Smyth
Westfield, Massachusetts
Randy Smyth has been in ministry since 1970 when a local missionary came to his house and told his family about the people in the world who had never heard the gospel. For seventeen years Randy was a bush pilot who assisted missionary teams who were planting churches among unreached people groups. Diana’s service began by volunteering for Cru in college. She then worked with Cru for many years before marrying Randy and joining him in his ministry.
Randy and Diana Smyth now live in the States and work to mobilize Christians as missionaries. They recruit and educate Christians who have a passion for missions and the unreached peoples of the world. They send them to share the gospel to people who have never heard the name of Jesus. Please pray for the Smyths as they continue to seek and train those willing to go.
Frank and Sam Agundes
Mexico
Frank and Samantha Agundes have been missionaries for Mission Quest & Lily of the Valley Orphanage in Chihuahua, Mexico since 2021. The Lord called them to care for the fatherless, abandoned, marginalized, and vulnerable children and youth in Chihuahua, Mexico. Their hearts are to bring hope through the redeeming Gospel of Jesus Christ by way of full-time staff at an orphanage including discipleship, mentorship, and other support ministry. It is their job to not only nurture the children and staff spiritually but also to care for their physical well-being. They assist with Bible studies and Christian mentorship for the orphanage staff to contribute to a Gospel-centered home for these vulnerable children.
