In 2026, Bill and Susan Kieffer reached 50 years of service with GFA and 48 years serving as missionaries in Brazil. Both are from Southern California. Susan graduated from BJU in 1971 and Bill in 1976. Since 1978, the Kieffers have been involved in learning their country’s language and culture as well as in establishing local churches in the cities of Ituiutaba, Catalão, and Araguari. They turned these churches over to Brazilian pastors and are assisting them and others through soul-winning, discipleship, counseling, and conference speaking.

For 22 years, the Kieffers also operated Hope Ranch Ministries, a camping ministry that seeks to win the lost and strengthen the believer in conjunction with the local church. The Lord has led them to offer the property for sale. The camping ministry continues at rented locations under the leadership of Pastor Marcos, pastor of the Fundamental Baptist Church in Araguari, Minas Gerais. This is the third church the Kieffers planted.

The need of the hour is for dedicated people to plant new fundamental churches, disciple new believers, serve in the camping ministry, and seek to win young people attending nearby universities to the Lord.
