Ted and Juli Kautzmann
Ted and Juli Kautzmann are in a training ministry to train Christian leaders in the Latin American church. This church is growing rapidly, but suffers from lack of trained pastors and leaders. In response to this need Ted has started the Latin America Training Network, (visit ProMETA for their website in Spanish), an Internet based graduate training program, so that many people can be trained without the hardship and expense of traveling to a specific location. Their efforts are supported through the Evangelical Free Church of America International Mission.
