David and Danielle met at their church in Connecticut and their three-year friendship led to marriage in August 2008. Perhaps because neither of them was raised in a Christian home, they have felt even more keenly the desire to share the love of Christ with others. In their local church they have served on the church’s missions and outreach committees, with youth ministries, and in Vacation Bible School.

The Grottons will be working at CEMIPRE, a ministry center for the disabled or “differently enabled” in Viña del Mar, Chile, alongside veteran MTW missionaries John and Cathy Rug. In addition they will be ministering at Iglesia Gracia y Paz (Grace and Peace Church). Their support ministry will include leading Bible studies, receiving short-term teams, and teaching Braille, sign language, and adaptive computer technology. They also will be teaching others how to reach out to the differently enabled and their families, providing skills training as well as teaching them how to share the gospel of Christ.

Please pray for the Lord's work in Chile and that many would gain new life in Christ.
