"Go therefore and make
disciples of all nations..."

Pontiac Bible Church is committed to being a part of God's global plan to call people to Himself from every nation, every tribe, and every tongue. We prayerfully and financially support multiple missionaries around the world, and we offer opportunities for partners at PBC to go on short-term mission trips to assist in the ministry that God is doing through the lives of our missionaries.


OUR "CORE 4" GLOBAL MISSIONARIES

MEXICO

Dan & Christi Ucherek

Strengthening families in Cancun.

Dan & Christi Ucherek have been serving in missions full-time since 2012 and have been on staff with Back2Back Cancun since February 2020. They serve the communities of Bonfil and Tres Reyes. Dan is a part of the Cancun leadership team, leads the Strong Dads Program, and teaches workshops as well. Christi supports the Strong Moms program, serves missions guests, and loves to pull off events to celebrate the children and families in Cancun.

SINGAPORE

Keith & Jeannette Shubert 

Serving with Cru at East Asia School of Theology in Singapore.

 

It is a long way from Saunemin to Singapore. Growing up on a farm east of Saunemin, Keith never imagined that the fields in which he would spend most of his life would be mission fields. Keith joined Cru (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ) in 1971 intending to stay for two years. The two years have extended until now as Keith has taught Bible courses in over 30 countries on six continents.


Keith and his wife, Jeannette, currently live in Singapore and teach at East Asia School of Theology. They teach and mentor students from across Asia. In addition, they travel and teach in various parts of Asia. Many of those they teach are first-generation Christ-followers who want to learn about the Bible so they can teach others. 

 

The partnership with Keith and Jeannette extends PBC's reach by providing biblical and theological training for men and women in some of the least-reached areas of the world. Those they train serve as laborers in God's harvest fields. 


 

INDIA

 

Caleb and Masha Ellis

Bringing joy and purpose to orphans in Mumbai.

Caleb and Masha Ellis are serving in Mumbai, India. Their passion to serve orphans and young adults from lower social economic backgrounds has led them to start Vivacè, a specialty coffee cafe in Mumbai. They started this initiative to train and disciple students who will work at the cafe for a period of 1-2 years. Here the kids train under the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) criteria, the global golden standard in coffee, thus guaranteeing the best education in the coffee industry. 

 

The Ellises, who are both SCA Certified Baristas and Brewers, hope to give the students a better future where they will be able to secure careers in the coffee industry in India. Caleb and Masha also host Sunday morning church services at the cafe as well as worship nights once a month.

 

Masha has lived in India for 8 years, and she and Caleb have been married for 7 years. Currently the Ellises and their ministry in India are mentored by Pontiac Bible Church Missions Team and Lifesong For Orphans, an International Adoption Advocacy and Orphan Care Agency serving more than 8,600 children in 13 countries across the world.


KENYA

Dan and Lorraine Wilson

Raising up disciples in African nations.

Dan and Lorraine Wilson live in Plano, Texas, but serve in African nations through Xponent Ministries. They help establish Discipleship Centers which train nationals to become church leaders or leaders of a small group of believers. Before graduation, each student establishes a new church or cell group.

Xponent Ministries currently serves in eight countries - Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Congo, Zimbabwe, Malawi, and South Africa. They are celebrating their 10th anniversary and have trained well over 3000 church planters over the last 10 years. These leaders had to start 3000 congregations to graduate, as well as recruit someone to take their place. Xponent estimates that close to 10,000 people have professed faith in Christ since they started!
