Michael & Beth Dennis
Cali, Colombia
Michael and Beth Dennis are missionaries to the South American nation of Colombia. In May 2020, Michael graduated with his M.Div from the Master’s Seminary. Michael and Beth have grown immensely both spiritually and in ministry training at Grace Community Church with Michael heading up an evangelistic outreach at the church and leading a Bible study through the Grace Life Fellowship Group. Michael has a passion to reach the lost in Colombia through evangelism and to help the saints there to grow in their understanding of how to glorify God in every area of their daily lives that they may be presented complete in Christ (Col. 1:28).
In Cali, Michael will have the privilege of helping to plant a local church with Santiago Armel. His desire is to help establish a healthy biblical counseling/discipleship culture within the church. He also seeks to assist in training indigenous pastors in the Scriptures, theology, and preaching God’s Word both publicly (from the pulpit) and privately (in biblical counseling), so that these pastors will be able to properly feed and shepherd their flocks. God has richly blessed Michael and Beth with five children: Aden (August 2012), Benaiah (February 2014), Judah (February 2016), Magdalena (March 2018) and Abigail (May 2020).
