Jessica Lopez
As CRI’s International Missionary Partner leading our Vida Victoriosa ministry, Jessica runs an after-school program for children and families living in and around Cerro Grande. This community sits on the outskirts of Chihuahua City, and is home to a large population of the indigenous Tarahumara tribe. Many of the women and children Jessica works with have lost their husbands and fathers to the drug cartel. Her vision is to help these families live victoriously through education and nutrition. She holds tutoring classes after school, as well as Bible studies for anyone who is interested to join. Her investment in the community is felt and valued.

Lian & Lunnu
In Myanmar, many parents work all day in the rice fields and are too busy, poor, and tired to send their children to school. Because of ongoing civil war and widespread corruption, these families and their children face constant fear and hardship. Lian and Lunnu’s vision is to bring these children, especially orphans, into their Shalem Christian Academy. Their goal for their students is to teach them not only how to survive, but to love God, love their neighbor, and become contributing members of society.

Jackson & Blessing Rowland-Adeniyi
Jackson and Blessing lead Grace & Knowledge Academy and High School in Nigeria. In late 2010, after acquiring multiple theological and education degrees in Nigeria & the US, Jackson and Blessing prayed God would prepare the way for them to open a Christian school and receive their first students. One year after that prayer, they opened the doors to Grace & Knowledge Academy! In 2014, Jackson completed his Ph.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary, and in October, they moved back home to Nigeria with their daughter, Mayo.
Now they have more than 200 students enrolled in Grace & Knowledge Academy and High School (GKA & GKHS) and attending their weekly Bible Club.
