Global Extended Family

Debbie is partnering with Integrated Tribal Development Foundation (ITDF) and Lanna Foundation in Northern Thailand to begin the Hands to Heart Women's Cooperative. Debbie is working with hill tribe women to build leadership and entrepreneurship skills, as well as, building trust and relationships to share the Gospel. She’s also the liaison for Lanna Foundation to raise awareness of the work ITDF is doing as well as advising the new Lanna Cafe in Thailand to build marketing strategies for the cafe and the farmers that grow the coffee. In all this Debbie’s heart is to share Jesus and to walk alongside women who decide to follow Him. 

The Griffiths are serving with Ethnos360 to help people connect to God and to each other in their neighborhood in West Africa.

They arrived in West Africa in 2012. They have studied two national languages and connected with a local body of believers in the capital before starting their work amongst an unreached people group in a remote village.

Currently, Del recently acquired proficiency in this language and Arielle is close to attaining language proficiency in this people group. Del will turn his attention towards understanding the culture, language analysis, working on translation of the Holy Scriptures, literacy, and teaching the Scriptures. With the goal of seeing a group of disciples formed that then go and form other groups of disciples

Larry brings 40+ years of cross-cultural Kingdom ministry with a global organization on three continents to the Extended Family partnership. After several years of fellowshipping with our La Fuente Spanish gathering, including an active role on the worship team, Larry is now in a West African context. He is learning the trade language before progressing on to the heart language of a highly unreached people group. 

Building upon a lifetime of worship participation, Larry seeks to use his music and cross-cultural background to come alongside a largely illiterate people group in his West African setting. As he gains fluency, he also desires to accept a West African pastor’s invitation to help prepare West Africans for their cross-cultural ministry to this and other people groups.
