We have been in missions since 2004. Our first 14 years were spent living and ministering in Ireland. While there we planted university ministry, Students for Christ, and helped to lead a local church, Abundant Life Christian Church in Limerick. We also worked with the national movement as a part of both their National Committee and chairing the Credentialling Committee for the Assemblies of God Ireland. Recently our visas were denied and we have felt God leading us to another area of the world, the North Atlantic/Canada. So we are part of the first group of missionaries that AGWM has ever sent to this area of the world. Though we are heading to a new home, our hearts have not changed. We still desire that Jesus would be made real through our lives and ministry. Rather than a religious duty to be performed, a relationship with Jesus would be cultivated. Our ministry will continue to be with university students as we partner with SERVE Campus, the PAOC Campus ministry of Canada. We will be based in Halifax, out on Canada's East Coast and launch from there, through the planting of new student ministry groups. We are working with a local church plant to see God raise up more leaders and effective disciplers across the nation.
Brent & Renea have been serving in the country of Malta working on church revitalization with the national church. It is a young Christian church that is still developing, and a low number of Christians on the island. Their heart is to plant an international church that shows another side of who God is. They want to show that church can be a place to form community and a place where people can build a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Michael and Sonia Sanchez have been actively leading ministry to the Hispanic-Latin people in South Dakota since 2012. Their ministry has included services for Spanish speaking people through several churches in South Dakota which include Clark, Watertown, Milbank, Sisseton, and Brookings.
Michael is a credentialed minister/evangelist with the South Dakota Assemblies of God. The Sanchez’s goal is for Hispanic-Latin people to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ and to become born again. They do everything they can to help the many churches in the region receive and minister to Hispanics. They encourage their Hispanic brothers and sisters to attend the regular services of the church.
They feel it is vitally important for everyone to hear the truth about salvation through Jesus Christ. Michael and Sonia’s ministry is available to anyone interested in reaching Spanish speaking people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and planting Hispanic churches under the local church leadership.
Nick and Nikki grew up in the same small town in Washington State. When they were 12 and 15 they went on a mission trip to Mexico with their church. This became a yearly tradition and the two young kids soon became good friends.
OUR STAFF
We believe that employment is empowerment. By creating sustainable, dignified jobs, we are breaking the cycle of generational poverty, preventing malnutrition, keeping families intact, and empowering parents to provide the best possible life for their children.
ABOUT HAITI
Haiti is a beautiful island located in the Caribbean 800 miles south of Florida. It shares the island of Hispanola with the Dominican Republic. When a lot of people think about Haiti, images of poverty and desperation come to mind.
