The Castro family came to know the Lord through the ministry of the Kallestad Family (another FCC

supported missionary) into the South of Chile. In 2003, a team of Chileans and North Americans went to

Iraq to minister through humanitarian aid and community development. Two of the team members

were Luis and Andrea Castro. When their time in Iraq came to an end, they returned to the South of

Chile to pastor the church in Melipeuco, focusing on bringing Mapuches to Christ. Luis is a talented

wood carver and uses this talent to help support his family as the church grows.
