Meet Our Global MW Missionaries

Aleece Diaz

Haiti

Aleece started serving in Haiti on short-term mission trips in 2011. But in 2013, she started exploring the possibility of serving long-term in Haiti as a medical missionary. That dream, in alignment with God’s plan, finally came to fruition! Aleece graduated from Mercer University’s Physician Assistant Program in Atlanta and returned to Haiti to serve long-term as a medical missionary with Haiti Health Ministries (HHM) in Gressier, Haiti. HHM is a small faith-based ministry relying on God for its funding. 100% of donations received go directly to ministry, and all HHM missionaries are funded by donor support.

Vinicio & Karry Lopez

Guatemala

Vinicio Lopez was born in Guatemala and moved to the US when he was 19 years old. Karry Lopez was born in Illinois and moved to Georgia to complete a Masters degree in Social Work. God used a mission trip to Guatemala to make Himself known to Karry as a personal God and stir her heart for the people of Guatemala. A few years later, she went to the mission field in Guatemala. After returning to the US, she and Vinicio met in Atlanta at a QuikTrip. They married and had 2 daughters, Emma and Selah. Several years later, God showed them that His plan was for them to serve Him full-time in Guatemala. In 2016, Vinicio and Karry said "yes" to the call and sold everything to move to Guatemala and begin serving Him.
Vinicio’s trade skills and spiritual gift of service have provided an opportunity to meet a practical need for families living in poverty all over Guatemala. With the help of short-term teams and partnerships with other missionaries, the Lopez family has had the opportunity to provide homes, food, and clothing to those affected by natural disasters, the pandemic, and many other devastating crises. The main goal of all the Lopez family does is to make Jesus known in a way that yields life transformation and eternal salvation through Him.

Dao Duy Tri & La Tiem Giao

Vietnam

Pastor Dao Duy Tri and his wife La Tiem Giao are from Vietnam, and in 2020 God called them to do church planting in Ho Chi Minh city. Due to the pandemic, Pastor Dao Duy Tri was only able to do online services. InJune 2022, they had their first in-person service with 6 people in their house. Now the church has 12-15 people every Sunday! They've also begun a thriving children’s ministry. On July 2nd, the church had their first child dedication ceremony, and will soon have water baptisms for two young people in the coming months!

Michael & Elaine Shreve

The Philippines

Word for the World is a 40-year-old ministry based in the Philippines. The organization has planted several hundred churches in this time. Currently, there are 95 churches in the Philippines and 8 other countries that are part of Word for the World, bringing hope and ministering to over 30,000 people.

We have begun a church planting institute to train and support men and women from all over Southeast Asia to plant churches in major cities in their countries. The Church Planting Institute has helped to train pastors, help them plant churches, support them in the beginning of their journey and help them become self-supporting, then lead them to plant another church themselves within 5 years. God is already opening doors in Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, Northern India, and Nepal! We are helping pastors launch successful churches in every area of Southeast Asia, from bustling metropolises like New Delhi and small remote villages in the mountains of Nepal.

When God put the words "One More" on my heart many years ago as pastor of Mountain West, I never realized it would go well beyond these walls. One More is still our mission–to teach, train, empower, and support One More!

Joe Duthie

Christian Ambassadors Network

Joe Duthie started his journey as an evangelist in 1995. Since then, he traveled, trained and ministered in North India, Asia and different parts of the world. In 2004 when he was presenting the Gospel, he was challenged by a group of people about the corruption, injustice, power politics, casteism, and racism within the church. This made him take a deep look at the state of the church. Challenged by Acts 1:8, he realized the pressing need for Spirit-empowered witnesses. He began to speak in conferences and organized seminars and training programs to mobilize and equip all believers as witnesses. Initially, it was called PX – Pursuit of Excellence for the Master’s use.

Beginning in 2008, he started self-mentoring groups in different cities, bringing together believers to walk along and help each other in that process. It was later called CtW – Called to Work. He used printed materials to help the believers to systematically develop a witnessing lifestyle. In 2011 this growing movement was called CAN–Christian Ambassadors Network. In 2020, he stepped aside as International Director of Ambassadors for Christ International to focus on the work of CAN: mobilizing and equipping believers around the world to be active witnesses.
