Kelso received Christ as his Savior at the age of 17. He served in Manancial Baptist Church for 14 years as Assistant Pastor (focused on music). However, he understood that the Lord wanted to use him in a new direction so he decided to pursue a Master's degree in Theology (at Central Baptist Seminary, MN), which concluded in 2014. He then got involved with BGFM Global, equipping Christians through biblical and theological teaching in seminaries and Bible institutes, as well as in Church Conferences. This ministry started officially in January 1st, 2016, and the Lord has been opening many doors since then - not only in Fortaleza, but in other cities as well. Nowadays he is also teaching at Seminário e Instituto Bíblico Maranata.

 

Karen was saved at the age of 9. She has a Master degree in Administration and has been working in this area since 2004. For ministry, she attended courses on evangelism and discipleship of children (Child Evangelism Fellowship - CEF) and Bible Counseling (Seminário e Instituto Bíblico Maranata - Sibima, Ceará). She served her local church (Manancial Baptist Church) for many years, especially in the area of evangelism. Now she prepares classes and speeches to teenagers about their challenges (www.flickr.com/photos/falasapiens/albums) and helps Missionaries to use internet tools. She has been cooperating with CEF (in Fortaleza) in maintaining their blog, as well as the Brazilian BGFM Global site (www.bgfm.org.br). Her site Fala Sapiens [www.falasapiens.com] aims to share the Good News of Salvation attracting internet users to its various subjects.
