Family: Dan and Carol were married in April 2023. Their blended family includes six children and 15 grandchildren.

Mission Agency: The Cooks are serving with ABWE in Recife, Brazil. According to its website, “ABWE is a spiritually empowered family of servants committed to glorifying God by calling the nations to worship Him. We follow Christ’s command to make disciples among all the “ethne” (people groups) everywhere. As ambassadors for Christ representing our sending and supporting churches, we evangelize, make disciples, and train pastors and church leaders.”

Ministry Focus: The Cook’s ministry has been in a period of transition. Dan continues to serve as the Executive Director of Camp Paradise, but his role at Good Soil Brazil, a training tool for evangelism and discipleship, has diminished. This change of ministry allowed Dan and Carol to join with a young team of Brazilian church planters to begin a new church, Igreja Batista Redenção (Redemption Baptist Church), on the northern side of Greater Recife. In addition, the Cooks have been ministering at Koinonia Baptist Church in a time of restoration for the church.
