Bryan & Jannet Carruth

Meet Our Missionaries

Bryan was five years old when he became an Oak Hills Church member. He went off to Austin for college and graduated with a degree in theology. He and Jannet, a Brazilian who had grown up in Belo Horizonte, met at a Christmas party for the Oak Hills singles´ class in 1989. They married in 1991. By the time their first boy had his 2nd birthday, they were already on the mission field. Along came 2 more boys and they raised their family in Natal-RN, Brazil on the northeast corner of the South American continent. They always dreamed of establishing the church as a training center for sending missionaries into the world.

Ministry Work

Their mission established 2 churches: Comunidade de Cristo and Refúgio da Graça. Their calling was to establish churches which could sustain themselves well into the future with no missionary presence. Bryan has worked in the teaching ministry, preaching and training students in Bible. Jannet has formed the children´s ministry and has discipled women.

Their interests have led us to having a training program that has received teachers and students from over 20 countries.

Three years ago, they were able to purchase land and build a facility which allows the church to never pay rent again. The building will house the church, social projects and mission training.

Prayer Requests

  • Father, thank you for the social project that is active in the church. Please allow the Grace Haven Church to reflect Jesus as they provide a beacon of light to the down-trodden and broken-hearted in the area.
  • God, you are glorified for the church´s extraordinary excitement and determination. Please allow the church to grow and flourish for many generations into the future. Help it to never lose the joy of your salvation and its heart for the lost.
