Tom and Nutie (Melrose) Keogh
Missionaries

TNT - The jam packed power couple! They are gifted in serving on the Coco River through pastoral leadership, teaching, training, and worshiping.

Tom has been living with Miskito people since 1979, working as a curriculum designer, teacher trainer, pastor, fisherman, coconut farmer, linguist, and program coordinator. Tom is fluent in Miskito and Spanish, and is one of the most capable communicators of the Gospel in the region.    

Nutie originally joined Seek the Lamb in 2002 with her husband Dave. They were very effective in discipleship with our teachers, and in their English classes. Dave died of cancer in 2006, and Nutie continued working with us in music ministry and our annual Deep Water Discipleship school held each summer in Nicaragua.
        In January of 2009, she married Tom Keogh! They continue to love on and impact the Miskito culture in a powerful way.

He was an elected "senator" of the Autonomous Regional Government of the Atlantic Coast North in Nicaragua for eight years. Truman spent almost a month in Israel in 1997 studying Biblical Culture.

Eric and Barbara Johnson
Radford Coffee Company

        Barbara & Eric Johnson met Mike and Laura Bagby in the 90's at Christian Fellowship in Herndon, Virginia where Eric served as the mission director. During that time, Eric and Barbara brought teams to Nicaragua to work with Seek the Lamb. In 2012, God called them to join Seek the Lamb as missionaries. They served as team leaders for the Rio Coco Cafe on Utila for three years with the vision to open a coffee ministry in their hometown of Radford, Virginia. The vision became a reality in December of 2015 when the Radford Coffee Company opened its doors. Eric and Barbara continue to bring down teams to the Coco River and send profits of the Radford Coffee Company to Project Ezra.
