The Pure Joy Missions Team 2021

Andrea & Francis

Mission Directors

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!

Yeni

Missionary

We met Yeni & 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 a bag full of little Bibles & read with the children. His love for Christ & this community was evident. The same was true for Yeni, who volunteered at the after school program. When we started Club Exploradores, Yeni & 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 & to each ministry.

Wendy

Missionary

Wendy joined Pure Joy as a volunteer, faithfully serving at Club Exploradores, the nursing home, the senior center, and the orphanage each week, before becoming full time staff in April 2020. She is passionate about the Lord and sharing His love. We are so grateful for the kindness, love and compassion she shows to the elderly and the children at each ministry. We couldn't do what we do without people like Wendy!

Volunteers

Brianda

Brianda started volunteering with Pure Joy in 2020 and has been nothing short of a joy to have around! She is kind, smart, compassionate, and full of life and love. Brianda works in education, and therefore helps guide us as we make decisions for the tutoring program for the teens. We are thankful for her expertise. Oh, and did we mention she speaks English too?! We are so thankful to have her on our team!

Mery

We first met Mery several years ago when she worked at the Senior Center. Since then, she has become an active volunteer for Pure Joy. Her heart of service and love for others is evident. We are so grateful we have people like Mery who we can call when there is a need. She is always happy to help and serve!
