Our History
When founder Alfredo Vallellanes was as a missionary in South America he realized that several pastors, missionaries, church planters and workers were serving the Lord with limitations on basic needs. One of the things he struggled with as a missionary was the lack of finances to purchase Bibles for newly converted families.
Through this experience, he realized that the emphasis of missionary support was more oriented towards buildings and structures instead of taking care of the people. Alfredo was convinced that a worker well-cared for would work and serve more effectively.
While planting a church in Paraguay, Alfredo and his wife Yolanda were inspired by a noble gesture of an anonymous entrepreneur who sent them small but useful monthly offerings that were used to buy Bibles and chairs for the church. They prayed to God that one day they could also help those working in the field through small monthly contributions and biblical literature.
God used Robert and Carolyn LeMaster to advice Alfredo and Yolanda in the shaping of Mies Foundation. LeMaster Foundation became the mentors of Mies Foundation. To this day, Mies Foundation has supported over 60 Christian workers around the world and has placed over 4,000,000 Biblical Literature (Bibles, New Testament, Gospels, Tracts) in the hands of those who need them.
