Meet our thriving missionary family in Nicaragua—Caleb Runne and Glenda Escudero and their children, Jordana and Enoch Runne.

The birth of their union began on June 5, 2006 when they were introduced in Argentina. One of the most romantic stories full of miracles to prove to them that their union was directed by the Creator, they married only 68 days after meeting! Through various trials they were taught how to recognize God’s will for their life. In addition, with the arrival of their children, it became more and more apparent that the only way to live was to allow God to completely guide and direct every aspect of their life.

Looking back, it was clear where God had been preparing them for missionary service from their beginnings. In separate countries, Caleb in the United States and Glenda in Argentina, they were both raised by Adventist parents who instilled the fear of God with deep roots. Caleb, choosing to become a doctor of chiropractic and emergency medical technician, was convicted to have a unique practice that did not rely on instruments, insurance, not even electricity, so that he could be of service to the suffering needing only his “head and hands”. The Holy Spirit informed his education through the lens of the Bible and Spirit of Prophesy. God added to the gift of healing, the gift of tongues and teaching as Caleb accepted invitations to preach and teach in both English and Spanish, in the church and the community.

Glenda chose to study psychopedagogy, a branch of psychology focused on how to improve the learning process through the life cycle. She was given the conviction to devote all her efforts and time to the most important mission field, the home. The Bible and Spirit of Prophesy directed her in when and how to homeschool their two children and also how to become the mother and wife God wants her to be. Glenda was always on fire for foreign missionary work and reaching the unreached. One of her dreams is to become a missionary pilot and spread the 3 Angels Messages to places were the gospel hasn’t been preached.

Caleb and Glenda have been blessed with two children, Jordana, eleven years old and Enoch, nine. God has gifted each one with strengths and interests that will be useful in the mission field. They are both creative and inquisitive, lovers of nature and adventure. They love to make new friends, spread the gospel and are each other’s best friends.

As a family they have been waiting for the moment when the Holy Spirit would tell them directly, “the fields are ripe for the harvest”. They have answered His call to be missionaries to Guyana with Adventist World Aviation and say, “Lord, send us”.
