Meet Our Missionaries

At GFF, our desire is to take the Gospel to those who still need to hear the truth of Jesus Christ. We are especially burdened for three groups of people: the Unreached – Those who have little to no access to the true Gospel in their language or culture and have never had the opportunity to hear about Christ, the Underreached – Those who may have some access to the Gospel, but still lack a strong, faithful witness sharing the truth within their own language and culture, and the Misreached – Those who have been exposed to a false or incomplete gospel that does not lead people to the saving truth of Jesus Christ. We are so thankful for our missionaries who faithfully serve around the world, working hard to reach these people with the hope of the Gospel and share the message of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Missionaries

David and Debbie Nunemaker

Undisclosed

David and Debbie Nunemaker have spent a lifetime working with French-speaking peoples. David was born in French Africa to missionary parents. After Bible school and marriage, Dave and Debbie moved to West Africa to minister. There, they began a Bible school ministry which continues to this day. Due to health restraints, they moved to France in 1982 in a church-planting effort and ministered there through 2021. In the 1990s, they began to evangelize immigrant peoples from Asia. This work has developed into a full-time Biblical training program that they personally have conducted in numerous Asian countries.  They now continue this ministry by Zoom distance training.

John and Kim Caputo

United States Campus Ministry

John and Kim Caputo have been involved in campus ministry for a number of years, although they have recently come to GFF. Previously, they worked at West Chester State University, West Chester, PA; that work has now been turned over to a local church. Now they are establishing a work at Millersville State University, south of Lancaster, PA, and are very encouraged by initial results. Campus ministry is not so glamorous, but it much needed; perhaps nowhere else in America is there such an assault on ‘anything Christian’ as the college campus!

Kevin and Olga Kenney

Spain

Kevin is the son of fundamental missionaries, and spent all of his childhood in Spain. Although he is American, he is perfectly bi-lingual and bi-cultural. He is more at home in Spain than America! At eighteen, he came back to the States for Bible College, but then returned to Spain and married Olga, a lovely Spanish lady. The Lord has given them twin boys, Reuben and Stephen.
Since finishing the prefield ministry at the end of 2006, the Kenney family has been working in their hometown of Moia, Spain. As of January 2008, the beginnings of a New Testament local church is meeting in the building of a retired folks cultural center.

Julie Miller

Indonesia (Retired)

Julie Miller and her late husband, Doug, served for thirty years in Irian Jaya, Indonesia, as church-planters. Julie, an R.N., also was highly involved in medical work and training village medical workers. In 1990, the Millers returned to the USA, where the late Doug Miller became an Associate Director of GFF. Following her husband’s death, Julie was active in ministry, traveling to the field with and in support of new missionaries in their first term.

On April 30, 2008, Julie Miller officially retired from GFF. She does not intend, however, to sit in a rocking chair with her twelve grandchildren! The Lord willing, and health permitting, Julie intends to be involved in ministry to ladies, especially single women. She will be moving from the immediate Office area, as the Lord enables. Although we won’t see as much of her as before, she will still be available through e-mail, and through the Office. Julie solicits your prayers as she moves through this transition into a new phase of life and ministry.

Joel and Marcela Daut 

France

We appreciate the ministry of Joel and Marcela Daut, missionaries with the Gospel Furthering Fellowship working in northern France. Please pray for them along with their four children, Liane, Josue, Josias, and Annael.

Bruce and Ruth Busch

Assistant to the Director (Retired)

After many years of faithful service with Gospel Furthering Fellowship, Bruce and Ruth Busch have officially entered retirement.

Although they have retired from active missionary service, their love for the Lord and passion for ministry remain as strong as ever. Now residing in Palm Coast, Florida, Bruce and Ruth continue to encourage believers, invest in the lives of others, and faithfully serve the Lord in this new season of life. Their decades of dedication to the Great Commission have left a lasting legacy, and they remain a tremendous blessing to the GFF family.

Moises and Rosa Campos

Spain

Moises and Rosa Campos are GFF’s longest-serving missionaries in Spain. We are thankful for their first church plant in the city of Olot in Catalonia. After training church leaders to continue the work there, the Lord tugged their hearts to move on; so Moises and Rosa turned their eyes to the town of Castellar where since 2017, they have been able to plant a new church by God’s grace and for His glory. Despite many governmental and local challenges, and as they praise God and find favor with the people, the Lord has been adding many to the church in Castellar such as should be saved. (Acts 2:47)

Patrice and Julia Niveaux 

France

For more than two decades, Patrice and Julia Niveaux have served God in France with a passion to strengthen churches, equip leaders, and help plant new churches. Since sensing God’s call to ministry in 2004, they have served together in France, where they raised their four children. Their ministry has included revitalizing churches, encouraging pastors and leaders, and helping churches move toward greater health and effectiveness.

Patrice serves as President and Regional Director of Perspectives, working alongside churches and pastors throughout France through encouragement, pastoral care, training, evaluation, and practical guidance. Together, Patrice and Julia are also involved in training church planters and facilitating new church-planting efforts. Their desire is to see healthy, reproducing churches established throughout France while encouraging believers and leaders both nationally and internationally to faithfully pursue God’s calling.

Peter and 'Charo' Torres

Spain

The Torres family has had a later start into full-time ministry than some. Peter (Pedro) was saved while working at the American Air Force base in Torrejon, outside Madrid, Spain. After taking some Bible courses in varied venues, and being involved in evangelism, Peter eventually became involved in Pastoral work. His great burden, however, is evangelism and church-planting; he desires to see all of Spain reached with the Gospel of Christ!
Realizing his need for more formal education, Peter and Charo came to the United States in 2002. While here they became acquainted with the ministry of Gospel Furthering Fellowship, and our missionary vision. After completing their pre-field ministry, the Torres family moved back to Madrid, Spain in December 2010. They are presently working under their local church to fulfill the goal of evangelizing 10 surrounding towns (about 50,000 people) where there is not a fundamental Baptist church. They covet your prayers for boldness and open doors.

Sandy Ball

Consultant

Sandy Ball served alongside her husband, Ted, in church planting throughout the United States beginning in 1971. After Ted graduated to Heaven in 2018, Sandy continued serving with GFF as an encourager and prayer warrior.

One of Sandy’s primary ministries is encouraging missionaries through handwritten cards and e-cards, regularly reminding both our home and international missionaries that they are loved and prayed for. In her local church, Sandy ministers to widows by visiting those who are homebound and providing meals. She also looks for opportunities to live out the Gospel through volunteering and interacting with those around her.

Sandy and Ted have three grown children and 11 grandchildren.
