The Minions are graduates of Ambassador Baptist College, and Stephen has served as an assistant pastor at Maranatha BC for the past five years. They have three daughters: Shiloh (4), Tirzah (3), and Keziah (1). Stephen is brother-in-law to our former Office Assistant Holly Minion. Jenifer is sister to our missionary Jed Duarte. Their goal is to begin deputation early next year. Please pray for them as they transition to this new ministry.
