Ron and Betsy Manila (Central Asia)

"...and recognizing the [Gospel of Grace] that had been given to me...they gave me the right hand of fellowship. They only asked us to remember the poor—the very thing I also was eager to do." –Galatians 2:9-10

Ron and Betsy Manila have been working in closed, Muslim nations since 2000. They have already been used by God to start a church for an unreached people group through the medium of humanitarian aid. As Muslims experienced the Manila’s love for them and the exemplary character of their family and children, many had their hearts warmed to the Gospel.

After a short sabbatical in Europe and the United States, Ron and Betsy are again working in Central Asia teaching community health and managing community development projects. Funding through GCF grants will make it possible for the Manilas to operate a three-month community health program, which will be implemented in villages throughout the region, as well as the creation of an English as a second language training program. Both these programs will meet important needs and will provide launching points for the spread of the Gospel. Ron and Betsy were Grace Church’s first, full-time missionary couple. They have attended Grace Church since 1989, where they met and were married. They have two children, Daniel (9) and Faith (5).
