Scott Buchanan, his wife Ruth, and their children, Isabelle, Isaiah and Eila serve in the Philippines. As Christ’s ambassadors they seek to continue His ministry of reconciliation, through obedience to the Great Commission, amongst the poor, marginalised and unreached people groups on the island of Mindoro. The Buchanan’s calling is to serve these peoples though the growth and revitalisation of existing indigenous churches – by way of evangelism, relational discipleship and theological equipping. They then seek to indirectly assist in the missional multiplication of these churches through the planting of new Gospel-centred churches amongst other poor, marginalised and unreached peoples.
