Missionaries Ed and Shery Grant pastor a church
they started, high in the Andes Mountains in the heart of Bolivia, South
America. After years of hard work, their church Piedra Viva is now a
growing group of believers that reaches out to young families and
university students.
Ed was born in Sandpoint Idaho, USA, and raised on his father's walnut
farm near Red Bluff, California. He went on to get an AA degree in
general education in Shasta Community College, and then a BA degree in
foreign languages from Chico State University in 1989. His two year
missionary training with World Indigenous Missions, was completed in
Coatzacoalcos Veracruz, Mexico, where Ed worked as a missionary to the
Indians in the State of Oaxaca. In 1991, Ed moved to Sucre, Bolivia,
and started planting a church there the same year.
