Brother Bob and Betty Sue Smith are celebrating their 60th anniversary as missionaries to Latin America! Their work is noteworthy in that they start churches and train local Pastors to take the churches. These churches become self-supporting within three years. The Huancayo, Peru, church has been indigenous and self-supporting for over 50 years, and has started many  other churches in suburbs and other villages in that region. Brother Bob started another church in Ica, Peru, which had a large and growing attendance. This Ica church has also been self-supporting for over 50 years, and has started many churches in that coastal region. Health problems brought the Smith family back to Mexico in 1970 when they moved to Brownsville, Texas. Using the same methods they began the Iglesia Bautista Del Pueblo Church in Matamoros, Mexico. The church grew to 1500 in attendance and began over 60 branch churches in the area. They began the Instituto Bautista El Buen Samaritano in Matamoros, which trained, while they were there, over 300 Mexican Pastors who have begun churches throughout Mexico and even other countries. In 1990 Bob and Betty Sue moved to Moctezuma, Central Mexico, with similar results.
