Brad & Chelsea Carpenter

Brad and Chelsea both grew up in Wichita, Kansas and Northridge Friends Church. They also both graduated from Barclay College as Missions majors and got married in 2008. Brad began serving in Rwanda in 2006 and they both returned to Rwanda in 2009. Chelsea has been in Rwanda for a year and a half and has been working at learning the language and culture of Rwanda and handling mission finances. In the last year and a half Brad has been working with David and Debby Thomas and other Friends leaders in the ministry of Discipling for Development (D for D), which is a whole-life discipleship/ transformational development program.

They are really excited to be able to be a part of Summit 2010, and they are especially looking forward to times of hanging out with those who are being called to serve God in cross-cultural ministry. They are praying for God's Kingdom to come and His will to be done in their own lives and in the lives of every person at Summit!

David & Debby Thomas
Christian Service Award

David Thomas and Debby Harney graduated from George Fox College in 1993 and 1994, respectively. However, both felt a distinct call to foreign missions before arriving at George Fox College. A year after their marriage in 1994, while serving as youth pastors at West Chehalem Friends Church, the couple accepted a call to serve in Rwanda with Evangelical Friends Mission.

After training in Belgium and Switzerland, and learning the difficult language of Kinyarwanda, David and Debby began their full-time ministry in the central African country in 1997. They work with the leadership of the Rwandan Friends Church and are both involved in grass roots level ministry. It is a task that they describe as "difficult and beyond their ability." Through the Lord's faithfulness, however, they have seen his will being accomplished in their work.

Among their primary ministry objectives was teaching church leaders to see the value of local ownership and leadership while also showing them ways to reproduce churches with minimal dependence on foreign funding, a process that took nearly six years. David is active in encouraging and supporting Rwandan leaders to realize the vision God is giving them, and building up a movement of intercessors to help bring into being the vision God has given the church. He also has started small groups with new Christians with a model that can multiply and be led by Rwandans. Debby is currently implementing Discipling for Development, which is a ministry that helps people in communities to become all god intends them to be. This is a god-empowered, relational process, in which experience facilitators assist the people of a community to grow in their ability to solve problems and to reproduce this process in other communities. ongoing transformation of individual and collective thought and behavior results in personal growth and improvement of community (health, agriculture, water, and relationships) for the glory of God.

David and Debby have spent considerable time confronting the overwhelming task of reducing poverty in the country. In 2004, Debby began making fuel efficient stoves which use solar energy to cut fuel consumption in half. In addition, she teaches agricultural methods that help poor farmers increase their harvests, and in 2008 she started a "Kingdom business," Ubuzima Moringa. The business provides Rwandans with highly nutritious products from the moringa tree, fighting the malnutrition that plagues the country. Her goal is to integrate her faith into a holistic outreach that benefits the community through business.

David and Debby have a strong desire to further their education so they can be as effective in ministry to the Rwandan people as possible. They are both currently enrolled in the online Master of Arts in Global Leadership Program at Fuller Evangelical Seminary. The couple has four children.

David and Debby Thomas, for your faithful service to God and his call to minister to the people of Rwanda, George Fox University is pleased to present to you the 2009 Christian Service Award.

As Kathi reaches out to this area by being involved in several local organizations as a volunteer, participating in local activities, beginnning a Parent and Toddler Group in her community, and leading a book study in her home. Kathi's desire for Ireland is that they would hear God's word in its fullness, and respond as faithful witnesses to the truth of the message they have received (Colossians 1:23-29). To that end she works to raise up disciples that have a vision for living out the gospel and carrying its message to their own communities and to the rest of the world.

Life Verse: "Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify your name forever." Psalm 86: 11, 12

David and Mae Kellum, former career missionaries, are now serving the Kibimba Hospital in Burundi, Africa and Chandler Friends Church in Chandler, Oklahoma.

David was born in Kenya East Africa in 1934 to missionary parents. He spent all of his childhood in Kenya and came to the states in 1953 to attend Friends U. Mae was born in 1936 in Southwest Kansas in the Bethel Friends Community and church. She went to Friends University where she met David and they were married in 1957. David graduated from Friends in 1957 and Mae graduated a year later in 1958. They went to Burundi as missionaries in 1960 under EFC-MAYM (Kansas YM at that time.) They worked in the Technical field, David teaching machines and running a garage and Mae teaching the women and girls classes. During those years they had three children, Debra Brown, LeRoy and Kelvin (Kelly). They left Burundi in 1983 for furlough and the government refused permission for them to return. David and Mae did return in 1999 during the Civil War and worked there until 2003. During those years they helped rebuild churches and other buildings that were ruined by the war. They also worked in helping the church reestablish the Children's Sunday School and VBS. They are still a part of the Burundi work as David is Chairman of the Friends of Kibimba Hospital Board. This group was formed to help the rebuild and equip the hospital after the war.

Dan Cammack and his family served for 15 years as missionaries to Peru under Northwest Yearly Meeting of Friends. Dan is now one of the pastors at Tigard Community Friends Church in the Portland, Oregon, area. He also serves on two mission boards: EFM and the Board of Global Outreach for NWYM.

Albert and Metali Adhikari are EFM missionaries to Bangladesh.  Albert has finished his Masters in Biblical Studies and Metali has finished Partners In Ministry from the International School of Theology in Manila, Philippines. Albert was the National Coverage Co-Coordinator to organize the ministry through the Jesus Film for the five years. Then he finished the Great Commission Training in Bangalore, South India before his marriage and Metali finished afterward. Both Albert and Metali were involved in Campus and Urban ministry with CCC (Campus Crusade for Christ) for three years. In 2005, the Lord called both of them to serve him through EFM in Bangladesh.

Albert and Metali love their land and its people. They are thrilled about the openness of the people, both Hindu and Muslim to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Albert was once in police custody for a night after helping persecuted believers in the north. His vision is to raise faithful disciples and lay leaders to help plant churches in different parts of the country. Metali loves working with children. Her vision is to train up many local young ladies to help the children's ministry all over the country.

Life Verse: Acts
work assigned me by the Lord Jesus-the work of telling others the Good News about God's mighty kindness and love." (L.B.)

Michelle heard God calling over 10 years ago and went to Cambodia to be a home school teacher for 9 months.  Little did she know how much this would impact her life.  She calls herself the missionary who went for 9 months and stayed for 10 years. During that time she worked with single women, was involved in multiple translation projects, coordinated Short Term Ministry Teams and her primary focus was on Youth Leader Development.  Her roles have included, teacher, mentor, friend, leader, discipler, teammate, Missionary Aunt, but most important is being a disciple of Jesus Christ.  She encouraged the development of the National Youth Council, guiding and directing them toward independence and the ability to run the Annual Youth Retreat.  

A missionary is anyone who takes the call on their life seriously and joins God where He is at work. The most significant thing Michelle learned is that God uses people who are ready, willing and able to say yes, when He calls.  God then gives you the ability to perform the tasks and ministry that you have been called to do.  Missions is a partnership between God and me, and me and the body of Christ. .  God provided the opportunity for Michelle to join Him where He was already at work, and it has been the best adventure of her life.
