Lyndell Campbell Réquia • BRAZIL
Seminary Professor in Brazil – North American Baptist Conference (NAB)
Birthday: 11/07
Lyndell serves in Brazil as a seminary teacher and as a church planter. She says, “I absolutely love teaching and equipping people to serve in God’s Kingdom, but because I believe in the importance of practicing what I teach as well, I am looking forward to helping a church develop from the very beginning.”
Lyndell married Paulo Réquia on November 27, 2010. To help us pronounce her Brazilian last name, she writes: “The actual pronunciation in Portuguese is ‘heckya’ with emphasis on the first syllable. I guess in english it would be ‘wreckya’ with the emphasis on the first syllable again. Hope that helps!”

Shant and Ginny Manuel • Northeast India
Executive Director & Administrator, respectively – Far Corners Ministry
Anniversary: October 9
Birthdays: Shant – September 4, Ginny – October 30
After growing up in Mumbai (Bombay), India, Shant came to Canada to further his studies in 1973. While in bible college he met Ginny and they married in 1976. In 1981 Shant felt a clear call to pastoral ministry and went on to do his M Div and later his D Min on the topic of Partnership in World Mission. After twenty years as a full-time pastor, he spent four years with Partners International, representing the work of national missionaries in various countries. Ginny was a busy mother to their son and daughter, and worked part time as a piano teacher, and in later years as a paramedic. She has always been actively involved in missions and music in their various pastorates. In 2008 Shant and Ginny were led to form Far Corners Ministry (FCM). They spent nine additional years in part time pastoral ministry along with this work in India, but now focus all their energy on FCM, and enjoy time with family, especially their two young granddaughters.
Far Corners Ministry started in 2008 with three main objectives – to support the growing church through pastoral training and church construction, and to help the poor with everyday needs such as blankets and mosquito nets. Over the years, we have continued these types of ministries, and with the help of trusted partners in India, have expanded the scope of how we seek to bring God’s blessing to people in these specific far corners of our world. This expanded scope has included the monthly support of pastors, educational support for children, vocational training, emergency food relief, and now agricultural projects. This ministry is done in partnership with Canadian churches and individuals, inviting them to take an active role in realizing these objectives.

“Priscilla”* • GLOBAL
Overseas Worker – Pioneers
Birthday: Unlisted
“Priscilla”* has been serving overseas in a restricted-access country for the past 3.5 years. She is an English teacher by profession and her skills and experience in that area have opened doors for her to share Truth in a place where many are unable to go.
* “Priscilla’s” name has been changed given the desire to provide anonymity due to sensitivities in the region she serves.
At Pioneers we recognize the primacy of the church in fulfilling Christ’s mission to, “make disciples of all nations.” Their aspiration is to assist local congregations at every point in the process, from encouraging believers to be more missional, to facilitating a candidate’s trek to where few dare to go and providing support so they can fulfill their calling there.
Pioneers desires to engage with churches in ways that promote Christ’s Glory as His kingdom advances.
