Jaime and Lori Useche are founders of Amazon Ministries International and YWAM Leticia working in the heart of the Colombian Amazon region, bringing the gospel to the indigenous people of this area. Jaime is originally from Leticia, and Lori is from Columbus, Ohio. Together they have two kids - Emily and Wesley.
Since 1995, Jaime and Lori have worked to train young missionaries, organize medical outreaches, plant and build churches, and distribute Bibles up and down the Amazon River, distributing over 289,000 Bibles so far. Their ministry also expands throughout South America as they organize Frontline Shepherd's pastors conferences known as Explosion to train and equip pastors, provide them with Bibles for their congregations, and reach others with the gospel through evening evangelistic crusades.
