Oak Hills supports a number of missionaries throughout the world including:

Natal, Brazil
Bryan & Jannet Carruth
Bryan & Jannet pastor a new church in the vibrant coastal city of Natal.  In just two years this strategically located church has grown to 250. Refúgio da Graça (Grace Haven Church) is also impacting other Natal Christian congregations, and the Carruths' dream is that God will use the campus to develop a regional missions training facility. 

Recife, Brazil
Dennis and Germana Downing
The Downing’s have served as Oak Hills missionaries in Brazil since 1990.  They minister in the congregation in São Lourenço, as well as actively train leaders in several associated congregations.  Dennis also contributes as author and manager of two Portuguese language websites that offer daily devotionals and in-depth Christian leadership training.

Sao Laurenco, Brazil
Bio and Dayse Nascimento
The Nascimento’s are Brazilian natives who minister alongside the Downings and other leaders in the São Lourenço congregation.  Bio is a student of the Old Testament, leading several study groups and is active in leadership training, while Dayse has joined Germana in teaching women's Bible studies.

West Africa
Marsha Martin
Marsha moved to a West African country from San Antonio in 2004 to teach literacy to the Yalunka people. Using the literacy strategy established by Pioneer Bible Translators, she is teaching indigenous individuals to become literacy teachers. Recently she has been trained and appointed as a crisis intervention/support minister to the many missionaries serving in vicinity to her village. She has also since 2005 participated in literacy training on special teams serving in Sudan.

Burkina Fasso, West Africa
Archie and Mandy Chankin
Since the summer of 2002, the Chankin’s have served with a team of three other couples in the town of Dano, Burkina Faso among the unreached Dagara people.   The team has been presenting a series of short Bible lessons in Dano and numerous nearby villages. This has led to conversions and mass baptisms, with many of the new Christians sharing the gospel in neighboring villages.

El Salvador
Rafael & Sonia Rosales
The Rosales family returned to a village in their home country in 1996 to plant churches therea. The Lord also led them to establish a foundation in that village, largely supported by Oak Hills members, that provides for the spiritual and physical needs of 120 impoverished children. 

Ken & Vicky Conway

The Conways will join Rafael and Sonia Rosales in April, to serve in the village of El Sunza and work with Fundación Sueños-Dreams Foundation. Each of the Foundation’s 105 impoverished children are sponsored by U.S. citizens who insure the children are afforded access to public school, basic medical and nutritional care, and vocational training opportunities, and who are regularly offered the Lord’s hope and encouragement.

Pioneer Bible Translators in Dallas, TX
Greg & Rebecca Pruett
Having lived in a small West African nation among the Yalunka people for eleven years and upon their completion of translation of the Bible, Greg and Rebecca moved their family to Dallas where Greg accepted an appointment as President of Pioneer Bible Translators in 2006. Greg will work through PBT to greatly expand strategic efforts to bring the gospel to new countries and peoples.
