and Ruth studied Spanish with Mrs. Otero from the fall of 1983 to
the spring of 1986 and were then sent to the mission field in Spain in May, 1986. They have 7 children, two married and
with two daughter and a son. Carl was a pilot and flight instructor in
the U.S. Air Force from 1974-1980. He was born again while in pilot training, and
after fulfilling his service commitment he left his childhood
dream of flying in order to serve the Lord full time. He
studied under William MacDonald and colabored with him from 1980
to 1986, teaching in a leadership training program at Fairhaven
Bible Chapel in San Leandro, California. During this time he also
took part in planting a new church in San Lorenzo, California. He
is a missionary church planter, writer and leader who is gifted in
discipling men and preparing them for leadership as elders in the
local church in Spain and Central America. He started a publishing
ministry in Spain, Editorial Discipulo, by means of which he
translated and published books and put them in the hands of
Spanish speaking Christians. This was left in the hands of the
Spanish elders in the church in Huesca, men whom he trained and
recognized as elders before moving on. At the present time Carl
and Ruth are serving in Sevilla, having received a call from that
province to help in a small church there that is in need of
edification, leadership training and encouragement. The Knotts
also use hospitality to reach out to both believers and
unbeliever. Ruth does personal work with interested women in the congregation. Carl started a monthly church bulletin which is a sort of mini-magazine with ministry articles, which is sent out to countries in Central and South America. It can be found online at http://asambleabetel.blogspot.com, or downloaded in PDF format from their website listed below. He shares the
majority of the preaching and teaching with Lucas Batalla, his Spanish co-worker, and also visits the
saints. In addition to this, he continues his ministry of writing
and translating Christian material. He makes ministry trips to Central and South American countries to teach and to give leadership training. He writes articles that occasionally appear in magazines such as Missions, Uplook and Milk & Honey, and has written daily readings for a devotional calendar called Choice Gleanings for over 20 yrs. Our church took part in sending them out and has
supported them all these years.
