Barry and Ellen Farlow are missionaries in Brazil with Baptist Mid-Missions. Barry is a third generation missionary to Brazil and Ellen is a second generation missionary.

They are sent out by Altoona Regular Baptist Church in Altoona, Iowa. We are seeking to partner with conservative, fundamental, independent Baptist churches.

Barry has a B.A. in Biblical studies with an emphasis in missions from Faith Baptist Bible College in Ankeny, IA. He also has a Master of Arts in Theology from Faith Baptist Theological Seminary.

Ellen has a B.A. in Elementary Education and in Biblical Studies from Shasta Bible College in Redding, CA. She keeps very busy raising our three sons, David, Paul and Luke.

David is six years old and is really growing up fast. It is fun to watch him becoming his own little person.

Paul is four and loves to do any that gets his adrenaline going.

Luke is one and has a smile that can wash away any worries.

Their desire is to advance the gospel by evangelism, church planting and training national leaders at the Paraná Baptist Bible Institute in Curitiba, Brazil.
