This is pastor Simon Soto (26 years old), and his wife Milenka Qena. (26 years old). When both graduated from school, they went to study in a bible institute. They got married two years ago, and lived in a small house with Milenka ́s mom. After saving money for almost two years, they purchased land with the dream of building a house someday. Considering the salary they have from the church, saving enough for a house could take a dozen or more years. Brush Arbor has provided a home, so this couple can continue their ministry among the poor Quechua.
