Missionary Commitment Form

Freddy and Paula Cooper are missionaries to the Dominican Republic. Before going to the DR, they served as missionary associates to Costa Rica for over two years and served as missions’ directors in their church for ten years. They have participated in and led short-term missions outreaches to various countries since 1985.

In partnership with the national church of the DR, Freddy and Paula will organize outreaches to Haitian sugarcane workers and assist in construction projects. They feel that God is leading them to the sugarcane plantations in the Caribbean in order to reach a lost and deprived group of people for His glory. Many of these fields have sub-standard living conditions, no medical care and have no educational system for the children. Most of these people are without hope and have little chance of ever leaving.

Freddy and Paula will also provide teacher-training seminars and be involved in Latin American Childcare through construction and teaching.

They are blessed with two children, David and Jeff, and six grandchildren. While home itinerating, they are living in Trussville, Alabama. If you would like to contact them for a service, you can call or email the following: freddy.cooper@agmd.org, (205) 427-3806,
(205) 527-9555. Thank you for your prayers and support.

We saw hundreds come to know our Lord and Savior, gave medical attention to over 10,000 children and built a Girls Home, The Hope House where we have 7 beautiful young ladies at this time. We went into some of the most remote places on the planet to reach people for Christ.  We are itinerating to go back to Sucua, Ecuador as fully appointed missionaries to continue the work there among the Shuar people, with Church planting and the Hope House. It is an honor to be Alabama Missionaries and to serve a wonderful fellowship.  You can reach them to schedule a service by email cmt4hendon@yahoo.com; ricky.hendon@ma.agmd.org or at 256-354-2405 or 256-376-7268.

Doug and Ramona, Meredith and Luke Jacobs have just returned from the remote nation of Nepal.  It is a country of striking beauty and lovely people contrasted with a lack of sanitary infrastructure and water so polluted that to drink from the streams is a sure path to affliction.  The Jacobs’s have crossed those streams and climbed the mountains to reach some of the most remote and unreached people of the world.  A nation once noted for only a handful of Christians is now into the 100,000's of thousands of believers. This is a triumph of eternal proportions.

   The story of the Doug Jacobs family is truly one of the most exciting of our time.  We are proud they belong to the Alabama District. Through the amazing grace of God, the hearts of the Jacobs’s reach into the heights of the Himalayan Mountains, the highest in the world.  Yet, God's love goes even higher than those highest mountains.   If you would like to contact them for a service please email dougramonajacobs@gmail.com

 

Joil and Leah Marbut are modern day Missions marvels.  Their heart for the remote and unreached is unsurpassed in the South American continent.  Facing disease, crossing foreboding rivers into the unknown and lifting up the banner of Jesus who shed his blood on a rugged cross is their daily bread.

   The Shuar Indians deserve the Gospel no more nor less than anyone else.  Yet, less was the bitter portion, which they drank for centuries.  Few tribes were in any greater darkness until the Marbuts’ shined the Light of the Gospel of Christ into their sin-captive souls.  The Marbuts’ not only tell the story, they live the story, which unfolds into a brilliant example of God’s love and grace.  The picture they paint with their lives echoes through the Ecuadoran jungles, Jesus saves, Jesus saves.  Let’s get them back soon for sometimes darkness does not wait but turns to death.  You can reach them to schedule a service by email joil.marbut@agmd.org or call 205-301-0996.
