 As a couple, Tim and Karis have a heart for Tribal Missions. God has led them to a support role ministry, where they can be of service and encouragement to all their colaborers who are in tribal locations. Believing that God desires for them to be the hands and feet, equipping those on the front lines for more effective ministry, and better focus. They look excited for how God is using them to helpEXPAND THE REACH OF THE GOSPEL in the tribes and jungles of Brazil.

[TIM] was born in Greenville, Michigan. He grew up in a Christian home where his dad was a pastor for much of that time. Once in junior-high, Tim was challenged to go on a short-term missions trip. It was during that first trip that God opened Tim’s eyes to the need for tribal missions.

[KARIS] was born and raised in the country of Panama, Central America. Her parents worked among the Kuna people of Panama. Karis grew up seeing the need for tribal evangelism and was challenged at a young age to be a part.

[the BENNETTS] We met eachother while we were both still in highschool. Tim’s first mission trip was to Panama in ‘98. We were just acquaintances as this point but two years later during the summer of ‘00 we both went to Brazil on a mission trip. It was during this trip that we feel in love. We dated for one year, and were married the following summer. Our daughter Sarah was born in 2003. Kiera was born in 2006, and we completed the training in the Spring of 2006. We arrived in Brazil January 2008.
