David + Ally Mitchell

David and Ally Mitchell went on their first mission trip as a married couple in 1999. They attended First Baptist Church in Pulaski, Tennessee where Lewis was the Youth Minister. It was on this mission trip to inner-city Memphis that God called them into missions.

After running for several months from the call God put on their lives, they embraced the calling and went on another mission trip with Lewis. This time they went to Casa Aleluya in Guatemala. It was on this trip that God called them into full time ministry. After returning several times to Guatemala, they packed up and moved down there as missionaries in a children's home.

During those two years, the Mitchells and Lewis kept in close contact. Upon returning to the states, David and Ally felt the Lord call them into partnering with When Will We Cry? Inc. David has since returned to Guatemala with Lewis and created several promotional DVDs for the ministry. David also maintains the website and technical aspects of the ministry. David and Ally look forward to helping and supporting When Will We Cry? Inc. and Esfuerzo Cristiano by leading mission teams and creating more DVDs and promotional videos.

Guatemala is a special place for the Mitchells because, they not only lived there for two years, but they also adopted two children from there. In addition to their two biological children, McKenzie (age 6) and Emily (age 2), they adopted Nancy (age 13) and Fredi (age 9). The Mitchells look forward to serving as a family in Guatemla in the near future. Nancy has already had the opportunity to be a part of mission teams at her church.

Two years ago, Nancy and David traveled to Venezuela, South America . It was on this trip she realized that she knew who Jesus was, but had never accepted Him into her heart. Nancy was saved as a result of this mission trip and has since served on hurricane Katrina mission trips in Gulf Port, Mississippi. Fredi, McKenzie and Emily can't wait to join their parents on the mission field and partner with Lewis & Donna as well as Pastor Ely & Rosa in Guatemala.
