“Somebody needs to care enough to bring the Deaf to the feet of Jesus!”Joe Kotvas – Pastor/Missionary

We are currently on the field serving in Lima, Peru

First Term Report - December 1999 - January 2004

During our last four years in Peru, we have seen many deaf and hearing saved and baptized. Several parents of deaf children in our school have been saved. We have been actively involved in personal discipleship as well.

During the past term God has allowed us to do many things.

None of this would have been possible were it not for our faithful supporters and prayer partners. (Except for our children of course!) In addition, we thank the Lord for Bro. Vernon and Sister Velma Miller; deaf missionaries who went before us and set the ground work in place to make it possible for us to continue and grow such a vital ministry.

More importantly, we give thanks to God and His power and leading in our lives to count us worthy to serve him in this His Great Commission!

Today's Efata Ministries is an outgrowth and continuation of God’s work through willing servants to reach the Deaf with the Gospel! Thank you for your interest in this work. Please go to our Vision Page and look to the future with us as we await the Lord’s return!
