“That all the People of the earth might know the hand of the Lord” Joshua 4:24

Testimony and Call
At the age of 17, Jeff Klein’s parents left the church. He willingly followed them. 14 years later God led him to Berean Baptist Church. In 1996, through Pastor Bray’s preaching and various preaching tapes he realized he was lost, repented of his foolishness and sin, called on the Lord Jesus Christ and was saved.

Right away God put a desire in his heart for missions and the mission field. God had burdened his heart for Argentina. Meeting missionary Rodney Frey in 2003, he shared his burden for the Mapuche People of Argentina and Chile. Jeff was very interested in his work. After talking with Bro. Frey and much prayer, the Lord moved Jeff to give his life to the Mapuche People.

God has prepared Jeff to minister to the Mapuche People with schooling at Slidell Baptist Seminary, being actively involved in his local church with preaching, teaching, and soul winning, and through ministering and preaching every Wednesday and Saturday in the nursing home.

Nanci got saved Sept. 1993. From the beginning God gave her a love for His word and missions. God has put her degree in Early Childhood Education and her gift of hospitality to good use for His service. She has led Vacation Bible School, taught Sunday School, Children’s Church, and ministered to the people in the nursing home. Nanci is ready and excited to teach the Mapuche women and children about Jesus Christ and living a life for Him.

Goals and Objectives
Jeff and Nanci want to go as soon as possible to the city of Neuquen in Argentina to complete language training in Spanish and Mapu-dugun. From this city, they will be a day's drive from 41 Mapuche communities, giving them great opportunities to reach these people with the Gospel of Christ.

After the languages are learned, they will move to the city of Alumine in the Andes Mountains. They will be working with Rodney and Cheri Frey to lead the Mapuche People to Christ, baptize them, and teach them the Scriptures.

The goal of the Klein’s is to plant churches throughout Argentina and Chile's Mapuche communities. These churches one day will be pastored and supported by the Mapuche People.

Thank you for your prayerful consideration.
