Wayne & Ellen Patton are missionaries with GBIM who are living in Belém, Brazil. Our family was deployed to the Belém, Brazil December of 2003 with our four children who now range in age from 18 to 11 years old.

The Pattons home church is Centerville GBC located near Dayton, Ohio. They sold their home and packed their bags to serve as full time missionaries. They are living in the city of Belém, which is a port city on the mouth of the Amazon River. Our ministry reaches into the Amazon interior cities

The kids attend AVA, which is a school that supports missionary families. All of the kids are enjoying the small town atmosphere that the school offers.
