My Love Story with the God of Missions

Barredo, Marlou: - Bo Barredo, the co-founder and president emeritus of Advancing Native Missions, continues to serve the Lord as ANM's Global Ambassador. He travels on mission trips overseas to visit, encourage, and help equip native missionaries. A dynamic missions speaker, Bo also speaks across the US in church and group meetings and at conferences. Marlou Barredo continues to serve as Bo's executive assistant and as ANM's Regional Director for Southeast Asia covering the mission fields of the Philippines, Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia. In response to God's call, Bo and Marlou left promising careers in law and government service in the Philippines and came to the United States in 1991 to advocate for indigenous missionaries around the world. Drawing on his skills as a lawyer, administrator, and strategist, Bo co-founded and led Advancing Native Missions as president for thirteen years. He stepped down as CEO in 2018 to become the organization's Global Ambassador. The vision of ANM's ministry is derived from Matthew 24:14: "And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world as a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." As Global Ambassador, Bo continues to further this vision.For the past eighteen years, Bo and Marlou have lived in the same simple townhouse in the community of Crozet, VA, twelve miles from the ANM offices.
