Greg and Dawn began their ministry with NTM in Venezuela in 1977. After studying Spanish and serving as dorm parents for a year, they began their ministry with the Yanomamo tribe.

The Yanomano people live deep in the Amazon Territory with little or no contact with the outside world. After learning the Yanomamos' language, the Sanfords carried on a church planting ministry for 12 years.

Since 1991, Greg has served as an NTM representative and conference speaker, sharing many of the couple's experience among the Yanomamo people. Along with his representation responsibilities, Greg serves as US Director of Mobilization. Greg has also traveled in the USA and other parts of the world, giving seminars on the NTM's Chronological Teaching Program to other mission organizations and Bible colleges.

The Sanfords have two daughters, one son, and seven grandchildren. Their oldest daughter Tammy and her husband Jamie are with NTM serving in South America, making her a third generation missionary. Their son Lane, also a third generation missionary, and his wife Karrie are serving with NTM in Papua New Guinea. Their youngest daughter Wendy, with her husband Ben, continue in training at Moody Bible Institute.

When Fred talks about tribal church-planting principles, he speaks from experience! Raised as a young teenager among the Piaroa people of Venezuela, Fred first watched his missionary parents in action. He returned to the US for missionary training himself, and then spent the next 25 years helping plant churches and translate the New Testament into Piaroa.

Barbara went to Venezuela as a single missionary and was assigned to the Piaroa missionary team. While she was helping Fred with typing the New Testament translation, the two fell in love. They married in 1964 and served together on the Piaroa team until 1985.

With the translation completed and 32 Piaroa churches well established, the Findleys were ready for a new ministry. Fluent in Spanish as well as Piaroa, they broadened their focus to include Venezuelan churches, challenging believers to join in the missionary effort to take the gospel to tribal groups. As Venezuelan Christians stepped forward to partner in the missionary effort, Fred and Barbara also helped start a cross-cultural missionary training program.

Now the Findleys have brought their passion for tribal-church planting back to the United States. They have seen God work from start to finish in establishing churches among a people group who had never heard of Him. They know it can be done. Excited about passing this vision on to others, Fred speaks in churches, conferences, small-group settings and home meetings.
