Jim’s mother led him to the Lord around the age of 3 or 4. At the age of 7, Shari was learning some Bible verses in school. She came home and talked about them with her parents, who led her to the Lord. We praise the Lord for His mercy!

In 1998 we began serving in full-time ministry training high school and college age teams which travelled around the world focusing on drama and music ministries. In 2003, we joined CAM International, which has now joined with Avant. Both missions were started in the late 1800s with a focus on reaching the lost with the Good News.

Our Current Role at Avant
We are currently church planters in south eastern Mexico City, in the municipality of Ixtapaluca. This work involves serving the community through community centre outreach, evangelism, Bible studies, leadership training, and networking with like-minded churches and missions in the area. This area of Mexico is one of the least reached areas in the Americas, and one of the most populated urban areas in the world.

About Avant
Avant has been focused on reaching the unreached since the 19th century, planting hundreds of churches over the past 130 years. Today, there are still many places in the world that are unreached and have no church. Avant's vision is to make a difference in time for eternity by rapidly planting and developing churches where none exist. We serve the Lord by “planting and developing churches” with several hundred missionaries worldwide, in 50 countries.
