Since 1979, Marty & Mary Madsen have served as missionaries in the US, France, and Mexico. In 2000, they began working at Esperanza Viva Youth Home and enjoy seeing the lives of the children changed through the love of Christ. Marty currently teaches at Nations School, works in maintenance, and helps in several other areas. Mary handles the accounting and administrative duties for Living Hope International. Their experience in raising four children (now all married), along with speaking into the lives of their eight grandchildren, is invaluable in ministering to, counseling, and loving on the children and staff at EV.
