Since initial acceptance by OMS in 1961, Claude and Marilynn Meyers have served as educators of missionary children in Taiwan (17 years), Japan (5 years), Asia (6 years), Ukraine (2 years), Portugal (1 year), India (3 weeks), and Mozambique (12 years).

Many former students are serving the Lord in many countries. They are involved in teaching, preaching, agriculture, and other areas of need.

They have recently completed a two-year contract with an international school in central Mozambique. Their emails are: cmeyers4038@gmail.com and mmeyers4038@gmail.com.
