involved with missions for over twenty years. Converted in Sao
Paulo, at age 7, she began to teach the scriptures as a teenager.

tribal ministry with New Tribes Mission, and then ordained by the
Free Methodist Conference of Brazil, who have sent her out first
to India, then to a global ministry as an inspirational teacher
of the word of God.

There she felt called to minister to tribal girls with Operation Mobilization. After marriage, has been ministry in Calcutta, in the slums of Los Angeles, and among Indian migrants in New Zealand, with her husband Viv. As a wife and mother, encouraging others in the Word, both in conference groups and to those in local churches continues to be Ięda's wellspring of joy.
