Yeni

Mission Director

We met Yeni and her husband Selvin several years ago at the school by the dump. Selvin was a gym teacher for the Crea after school tutoring program. Before each class, he would bring out a bag full of little Bibles and read with the children. His love for Christ and this community was evident. The same was true for Yeni, who volunteered at the after school program. When we started Club Exploradores, Yeni and Selvin both volunteered to help. In November of 2016, Yeni joined our team full time. Her grounded faith, kind heart, attentive mind, and joyful spirit has been such a blessing to our team and to each ministry. In December of 2019, Yeni transitioned into the leadership role of being Pure Joy's Mission Director.

Francis & Andrea

​Missionaries

Francis & Andrea joined Pure Joy full time in January of 2020. Andrea & Francis first met on the mission field in Puerto Barrios. Since then, they have been obedient servants to our Father and have served with YWAM in both Malaysia and Guatemala for several years. They then felt God call them to return to Puerto Barrios, a place God keeps bringing them back to to serve in in missions, and a place strongly on their hearts. We are so thankful for their willingness to come and serve. They are both kind, joyful, hardworking, and compassionate. We feel so blessed to have them as a part of our team!
