Susan and Brook Selby are excited to follow Jesus’ lead in pioneering a church-planting and multiplication movement in Panama, working alongside Antony and Lizette Owens. As a gifted leader and administrator, Susan enjoys creating systems and structures to disciple people into more peaceful, trusting and God-honoring ways of doing relationships. An ordained elder in the FM Church, Brook raises disciples and leaders, helping them identify what God is doing in their lives while assisting them in taking the next steps of faith in following Jesus toward advancing the Kingdom. Susan and Brook look forward to partnering their gifts to bring God’s love and peace to the people of Panama.
Children: Abe, Kallen, Shelli
