Dan and Teresa Susong

Dan and Teresa Susong minister to Hispanic children and youth (especially Quichua children) who have immigrated to the city and work in the streets just to help their families survive.

Through their ministry center called FACES, God has provided the working children a safe place to come in off the streets, eat a hot lunch, and actually play as children.  They also receive clothing, shoes, medical help, and Bible teaching. The Susongs work directly with the families to reinsert the youth into an educational program. In 2006 they founded New World Christian High School where working adolescents receive a personalized education.

Dan and Teresa Susong began serving as missionaries to Ecuador in 2003. Dan has been involved in ministry since he was 20 years old. He obtained his bachelor’s degree from Southeastern University and his Masters in Communications from Regent University. He has been producer/director for a national cable news show. Before going to Ecuador, he worked as video producer for Church of God World Missions, helping raise funds for mission work around the world.

Teresa felt the call to missions as a young girl. After obtaining her bachelor’s degree in social work and master’s in pastoral psychology, she worked in the field of family and children’s counseling and social work for 25 years before bringing her skills to the mission field.

Today they continue to help hundreds of Ecuadorian children get off the streets and into a better life where they can be introduced to he Gospel  and receive an education that greatly improves their quality of life.
