David and Carol Cosby

In 1975, David and Carol began their missionary career with OMS in Colombia at the Cristalina Bible Institute and the Biblical Seminary of Colombia. While there, David authored Spanish-language textbooks for classroom use and supervised several construction projects at the seminary. Carol opened their home to Men for Missions teams who came monthly to participate in the construction.

After serving at OMS World Headquarters in Indiana, the Cosbys were asked to open the new field of Hungary for OMS. The ministries David began there continue to see young people find Christ as Savior.

David and Carol returned to Latin America in 1998. David taught at the Biblical Seminary of Mexico and taught extension classes in local churches. Carol was the Mexico field treasurer and director of the school for missionary kids.

In 2002, David was invited to teach the first class at the Wesleyan Seminary of Venezuela. During his leadership, the seminary purchased its own campus and expanded the curriculum. In the intervening years, the Cosbys split their ministry between Venezuela and Mexico.  

David and Carol are retired and live with their daughter and her family in Virginia. Their son and his wife live in California.

The Cosbys continue to receive partial support through the OMS retirement package.
