The Sellers began their term in Cote d'Ivoire in 1996. They have been instrumental in the starting of West Africa Bible Institute (IBAO) and are teaching there as well. Larry also serves in the role of mission representative to Cote d'Ivoire for Global Missions.
The Sellers family has adjusted to living in seven different countries on three continents, has been exposed to several different languages, and lived in conditions from civil war to coup d'états. In spite of people's view that missionaries suffer great deprivation, they feel very fortunate to have raised their children abroad for the numerous advantages it offers. Larry was born in Texas, but his childhood years were spent in France and Algeria. He earned Bachelor's Degrees in music and missions from Gulf Coast Bible College (now Mid-America Christian University) and a Master of Arts in religion, with a concentration in Christian missions, from Anderson School of Theology. LeAnn was raised in Florida and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education at Gulf Coast Bible College. They married in December 1985 and then completed a full term of service in Haiti. Their first child, Laura, was born while serving there; their son Lee was born during their term in Rwanda.
