Imbumi and Martha Makuku

Imbumi and Martha Makuku are native Kenyans who came to know Christ as their Savior and Lord in their early teens. They met while working with World Vision in the slums of Nairobi, were married July 31, 1994 and have two boys, Elmer and Isaac, as well as legal custody of several other children. At the urging of friends and mentors, Imbumi came to the United States under a full scholarship to attend Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando, Florida and received his Master of Divinity Degree in 1999. He returned to Kenya and worked for Sudan Interior Mission in the slums training pastors, but he always felt his calling was to preach to the lost. In 2002, he began the Kibera Reformed Presbyterian Church (KRPC) in the poorest section of the Kibera slum, Silanga Village. Since then, the Makuku's ministry, under the Mamlaka Foundation, has expanded to include a school, feeding program, and health education outreach at the church, as well as the purchase of land outside the slum that includes a guest house, the Shunem Family Home, a ‘farmhouse,’ vegetable gardens, livestock, gristmill, and most recently, the Hope Community Church.

Hunter and Laura Quinn

Hunter and Laura Quinn are called to minister to university students in Cape Town as part of the MTW church-planting team in South Africa. They long to see students come to love Christ and His Church, a desire planted in them through their time with Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) at Oklahoma State. Having participated as both students in RUF and staff with RUF-International, Hunter and Laura understand how people desperately need to hear about Jesus and to join a gospel-centered church. This is especially true of Cape Town's universities, where students from all across the African continent come to study but also experience the pull of secularism, tribal religions, and false teaching. They are excited to be a part of growing the Reformed Presbyterian churches through campus ministry in a country afflicted by the prosperity gospel. Pray for the Quinns as they evangelize and disciple university students in South Africa. Learn more about their ministry here.

Elijah and Jessie Brook

Elijah and Jessie Brook are missionaries with MTW called to Leven, Scotland where Elijah will help co-plant a Free Church of Scotland congregation with Rev. Geoff Murray and his family. The Brooks first moved to Scotland in 2018 after their first year of marriage and began serving at a local church in south Edinburgh called Cornerstone. There Elijah trained for pastoral ministry and continued his theological studies while Jessie studied biblical counseling and served in women’s and teen’s ministries. During the last 5 years they welcomed their first child (Greyson) and continued to follow God’s call to local church ministry within the Free Church. By co-planting a church in Leven, the Brooks will be helping reach a town whose people are mostly unreached with the gospel and ministering to a large number of people suffering from many versions of hopelessness (broken homes, poverty, addiction, etc.) with the eternal hope found in Christ alone.

Mark and Laura Ambrose

Mark and Laura Ambrose serve with Mission to the World in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, where they focus on church planting and anti-sex trafficking initiatives. After two decades of providing medical care in the U.S., Mark transitioned to serving marginalized populations in Cambodia, particularly victims of sexual exploitation. He leads Family Clinic, which not only provides essential medical services but also trains Cambodian Christian doctors to practice gospel-centered medicine. This clinic is integral to their church-planting efforts, as it connects healthcare with local churches, facilitating outreach and support for people in need. In response to the challenges faced by young women exiting rehabilitation programs for trafficking survivors, the Ambroses founded Freedom Ministries. This initiative offers scholarships, housing and discipleship through local church dorms for college-aged girls. Secondly, there is Dahlia Dorm, a home for younger girls aged 12-18. Freedom Ministries aims to integrate these young women into the church community, providing them with a safe environment where they can heal, grow, and develop their faith. Through their combined efforts in ministry, Mark and Laura Ambrose are making a significant impact on the lives of those they serve in Cambodia. Learn more about their ministry here.

Sean & Jenn Martin

Sean & Jenn are married and have five children. 3 Timothy exists because we believe that God's Word continues to create life and bring about transformation. This conviction compels us to equip and encourage pastors in expository preaching and to press on in ministry. In 1 Corinthians 14:12, the Apostle Paul exhorted the Christians in Corinth to strive to excel in building up the church. The building up comes from prayerful preaching by a pastor whose heart has been gripped by the gospel of Jesus Christ and has experienced the transformation that God's Word brings. When the pastor is transformed, so is the pulpit and the pew. Then the Word of God continues to abound, transforming pastors, churches, families, communities, and the nations. These transformed pastors are then trained and empowered to pass on our training in their countries so as to multiply the work and the word. 2 Timothy 2:2 is at the very heart of who we are and what we do. This is our way to fulfill the Great Commission. We are grateful to God for our partnership with CPC in building up the church around the globe by continuing in our generation what was started by Paul and Timothy 2,000 years ago.
