BIO
From a young age, both Tynan and Lydia Barnes have been driven and inspired by what can be summed up as the Great Commission and the Great Commandment combined to be GC². In Matthew 28:18, it says, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you.” Like wise, Mark 12:28 paraphrased, “Love God, Love Others and Make Disciples.”
Having both graduated from Christ For the Nations Institute in Dallas, Texas in 2002, they have been pursuing the call to foreign missions in Central Mexico since 2015. Today, along with raising their five bi-lingual children on the field, Tynan and Lydia are committed to advancing Disciple Making Movements. In their spare time, they enjoy working with wood, weaving handicrafts on the loom, playing board games, and outdoor games like whiffle ball, kickball, as well as bicycle riding with their children.
Tynan and Lydia began their local ministry by seeking out Unengaged People Groups in remote areas of central Mexico, called the Circle of Silence. These rural areas have less than 2.6% evangelicals. Utilizing tools such as clean water filters and solar powered Mega Voice Mp3 players they are expanding the Gospel within these remote communities. The goal is to form and nurture small discipleship groups. These groups are then equipped spiritually to proclaim the gospel to the unsaved, disciple those who respond to the gospel, and mentor faithful disciples to serve as leaders to disciple others ie: multiply.
During 2021, the Lord inspired Tynan and Lydia to have a bigger vision. This prompted them to consider expanding their local discipleship ministry to also include training Spanish speaking missionaries in the regional area where they live. Now, Tynan and Lydia are working along side of Jorge & Rosa Gutierrez, also serving with Globe International, to re-launch Misión Global (Globe Mission Mexico) a Spanish-speaking missionary training agency to train Mexican Missionaries through basic candidate classes which will include Zúme, Kairos, and The Focus Group.
These aspects will serve as a much needed and focused Disciple Making Movement catalysts that will serve the local/regional christian churches and individuals called as missionaries, to recognize and fulfill their role in the Great Commission.

BIO
We are the Perekotiys, a Ukrainian and American family! We have been entrusted with four beautiful children: Chambers (2013), Lev (2015), Mila (2016), and Remington (2019). Our story began when we met in Ukraine in 2008. After living on the Gulf Coast of Alabama, we packed up our gang in 2018 and moved to Odesa, Ukraine, a beautiful, historic port city on the Black Sea. While visiting family in Alabama in 2022, the full-scale invasion broke out in Ukraine. We decided to remain in the US for the 2022-23 school year while supporting our partners in Ukraine through the War Relief Fund. In August 2023, we launched back overseas to share the Gospel among Ukrainians. We are based out of Bucharest, Romania, where we can serve refugees and be close to the Ukrainian border.
Through the War Relief Fund we have sent medical aid, vehicles, food, and education supplies to those in need. The needs of the vulnerable will only increase as this crisis continues, and we are committed to partnering with our friends and partners to meet those needs. We pray to use these resources to rebuild Ukraine when the war ends.
Our heartbeat has always been caring for the vulnerable and fatherless. Our vision is to see Christ proclaimed as we serve vulnerable children and families with national partners and churches. We also serve the unreached deaf community, and provide training and trauma resources for families and volunteers. Thank you for journeying with us!
