Year opened: 2005

Although slowly recovering from economic depression that has left 38% of the country below the poverty line, Venezuelans have hope that their situation is improving. Of the more than 26 million inhabitants, only 2% attend a Protestant church.

Mission Society missionaries David & Carol Cosby have been in missionary service full-time since 1975, having served in Colombia, Hungary, and Mexico. David is the academic dean of Wesleyan Seminary of Venezuela. He also serves as the director and professor of the Church Planting Institute with more than 40 students in two locations, Barquisimeto and Puerto Ordaz. Carol is in ministry to pastors' wives and other missionary families, hostess to visiting professors, and treasurer of the seminary and institute.
