The Brown Family - ETHNOS 360
Rich and Karen, along with daughters Atalee, Alyssa, and Ashlyn, serve the mostly isolated Moi tribe in Indonesia. There, they lived and ministered, sharing God's Word in the language of the Moi. There are over 6,000 languages in the world today, and at least 2,500 of them do not have God's written Word. The Browns left Indonesia in 2018, but continue their work with Ethnos 360. They are working toward making sure there will be one less of these, and that many of the Moi will understand and live in the truth: "In Him we live and move and have our being."
