Asa and Suzanna Bartos
ABWE — Lima, Peru
Our Family
Asa grew up in Ohio and has family roots in both Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. His parents served in pastoral ministry. Suzanna grew up in Chile and Nicaragua as a missionary kid. Her parents were involved in training indigenous church planters. Asa and Suz fell in love during Bible college in Pennsylvania. God brought them back to from a season in Canada back to Pennsylvania a few years ago, and they have since been building a strong relationship with their sending church and raising up partners to support them in prayer and financial contributions.
Our Vision
God has called Asa and Suz to encourage the Latin American church to full maturity and equip them with training and resources that are inaccessible or lacking. We long to see Latin Americans multiply leaders, churches, and missions movements among every people.
After three years of pastoral ministry in Canada and two years of witnessing in a retail setting, Asa, Suz, and their three boys have joined the team in Lima, Peru to assist in church planting and the ministry of the New Life Prenatal Center. Their desire is to partner with nationals and equip local churches for counseling ministry.
Asa is passionate about teaching and counseling others and hopes to assist in planting churches, encouraging pastors, and counseling families, especially husbands and fathers. He is pursuing further education in the realm of biblical counseling. Both he and Suz love music and expect this will always be a part of their ministry in some capacity.
Suz has a full-time discipleship ministry as a mother of three, but also hopes to provide education and encouragement for mothers seeking hope at prenatal clinics. Eventually she would like to help churches start prenatal clinics in places that do not have access to one.
