Dr. Tom Latham
Baptist Missionary in Brazil

Tom Latham became a Christian while serving in the U.S. Navy, where he began holding Protestant Divine Services whenever his ship was at sea. After completing his naval service, he spent the next four years at Bible College to further his spiritual journey. He achieved a significant milestone in his studies by earning a Doctor of Ministry (DMin) degree from Luther Rice Seminary.


After finishing his studies, Tom met Penny Stimpson, and together they began a mission to serve God in Brazil. Their family grew to include three children, four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Although Penny was promoted to Glory, Tom continues to serve Christ in Brazil.
