Our Vision in Missions.
Hello from Joel and Stepphany!
We are the Vieras, our passion is to help people experience the power of Christ through relationship and to witness how He heals the brokenhearted. Over the years, we've had the privilege of doing ministry in 26 countries, Africa, Europe, North-Central and South America each in unique and transformative ways. During our time in South America, we learned how to detect sexual abuse through art therapy, and this opened a door that led to us developing a discipleship program using Christian Therapy as a tool for healing.
We also had the opportunity to help with a church plant, where we served in various capacities—preaching, discipleship, media, and community outreach. Our greatest desire is to share the good news of Jesus and His healing power with the people of Latin America. Through prayer, we felt God stirring our hearts for the indigenous tribes, and we are now excited to be heading to Ecuador.
One of our main focuses will be Child Hope. Using our skills in photography, we aim to tell the stories of the children and bring attention to their needs, while also training local teachers in the transformative power of Christian Therapy. Though we will be stationed in Ecuador, we will serve throughout Latin America. We also plan to run kids/youth outreaches in the Sierra Mountains of this beautiful country within the indigenous communities with the ultimate goal of planting a church.
We humbly ask for your prayers and consideration as we take this leap of faith, expanding God’s kingdom and being obedient to His call. Your partnership will make an eternal difference, and together, we can make heaven crowded.
Thank you for walking this journey with us.
With love, The Vieras
