Scott and Michelle Toth with children (left to right) Bethany, Deborah, Christina, Philip, Havilah, Rachel, Rebekah, and Marçal.

Scott grew up in Rochester, NY. After completing high school, he went to Nepomuceno, Brazil to work at the Orphanage for two years. Phyllis Ackerman and Kim Mauer were part of that early short-term mission team. While he was there, Scott talked his parents into adopting Juarez, one of the boys. When Scott returned to the States, he worked with his father at their dry cleaning business. He married Michelle Schlatter and they began asking God what foreign mission they should go to.

Schlatter is synonymous with Papua New Guinea (PNG). When Michelle was five years old, her parents Vic and Elsie went to PNG. She is the second of their five children. She graduated from high school in PNG and came to the States to attend Goshen College in Indiana. She studied nursing. College was difficult for her, having a zeal and passion for God and missions that most of her classmates didn't have. She found those qualities in Scott Toth.

The Lord led them first to the newly formed PAZ base in Belém and then later to Castanhol--part of the southern part of the Amazon delta. This delta extends for approximately 300 miles-the distance from Chicago to St. Louis. They are involved in a river ministry with several boats to visit villages and plant churches along the river, they oversee numerous Brazilian workers at a Bible school and they oversee several churches in the city.
