.We have been missionaries, living in Argentina, since 1988. Dave actually arrived in Argentina in 1963 as the son of missionaries Dick and Sharen Ellis, so he was raised in Latin America. Our first two terms were spent in the city of Cordoba, the geographic heart of the country. There Dave and Carol founded the university ministry, Contacto Universitario. University students were considered an unreached people group back then. They have overseen the development of this ministry throughout the country and helped pioneer campus ministry in other countries of Latin America as well. Dave is currently the Director of the National University Ministry Department and the AG World Missions University Ministry Representative in Latin America. Dave and Carol have also planted two churches during their 20 years in Argentina and helped in the planting of others.

Dave and Carol have now been asked to return to Argentina and serve as Area Directors of what is known as the Southern Cone. This area is comprised of the countries of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. We will have leadership responsibility with the missionaries in these 5 countries and work closely with national leadership. We will continue to work to develop campus ministry and we are excited at the possibility of working to reach unreached people groups in Brazil, for example, where there are 57 such people groups.
