Charles grew up in Goshen, IN. Ellie grew up in San Jose del Progresso, Oaxaca.

Bible School on the edge of the beach. Charles and Ellie have been married
for 8 years and have 2 children, Jonathan (5), and Rebecca (1). Charles teaches
and is the director of the Music School. Ellie, besides caring for her children

Linda Andrus:
Linda preached her first sermon in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico and has
been teaching and preaching here ever since. Known for her shrill whistle
and loud vocal proclamations - Linda directs the Bible School with a
maturity earned as a missionary laborer. She can usually be found translating
for visiting speakers, disciplining unruly students, admonishing local church
leaders or leading a band of students in marching around the auditorium during
worship times.
Laura Pratt:
Laura's warm smile and caring heart have blessed many of the neediest
people of Oaxaca. Laura directs the activities of the Corban Clinic, using
her nurses training and warm spirit to minister to those in pain. Graduate

after the Base was established and has been a key part of bringing the Gospel,
along with Health Care to the most remote regions of Oaxaca.
Duane and Sue Kershner:
After coming back from Vietnam, Duane made his wandering way to Mexico. Through
experiences there he found the Lord and then made his way to Honduras as a
missionary. Sue grew up in Central PA and after receiving a Physical Ed. Degree
made her way to a school in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. There they met and a few
years later were married. After planting churches in Larned, Kansas, Sue and
Duane, whose hearts were always drawn to Latin America, moved to a deserted
stretch of beach in Oaxaca, Mexico with an intrepid group from the Victory
Bible Institute in Tulsa, OK and started the Roca Blanca Mission Base.
Aaron Claar:
Aaron grew up in the dry mountainous State of Montana so it's no wonder
his passion lies in the arid mountainous region of Ixtayutla -
a newly opening mission field - 5 hours into the Sierra Madre
mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico. Aaron graduated from Victory Bible School, Tulsa,
Ok, in 2003 and came by faith to Oaxaca where he is working with community
development projects aimed at the region of Ixtayutla.
