Our Missions

Global workers Eddie and Diana Echevarria have faithfully served in Patagonia, Argentina for over 27 years. They minister through the Patagonian Bible Institute (PBI), where they help equip and prepare leaders to reach the lost and make disciples of all nations.

PBI is dedicated to developing believers with a deep, personal relationship with God, strong integrity, and a clear vision for fulfilling the Great Commission. As the institute continues to grow, students are stepping into God's call: pastoring, planting churches, and serving around the world. Please keep the Echevarrias in your prayers as they continue this impactful ministry.

Chi Alpha Campus Ministries is a Spirit-empowered, diverse community of believers on university campuses, committed to declaring faith in Jesus Christ through both word and lifestyle. Their mission is to reconcile students to Christ and equip them through Spirit-filled communities of prayer, worship, fellowship, discipleship, and mission.

Through a five-fold approach, Chi Alpha focuses on building authentic relationships with Jesus by cultivating strong habits of prayer, passionate worship, meaningful fellowship, intentional discipleship, and a lifestyle of mission. These practices help students grow in their faith and live it out in everyday life.

At the heart of Chi Alpha are core values such as community, integrity, servant leadership, and excellence. Their vision is not only to reach students during their college years, but to equip them to influence the marketplace, the Church, and the world for Christ.

Jackie Welence serves as a missionary to the Deaf community in Colombia, sharing the Gospel with those who often have little to no access to the message of Jesus Christ. Through relational ministry, discipleship, and outreach, she is helping bring the hope of Christ to a largely unreached people group.

As Jackie continues to serve, she has come to deeply understand that the Church is not confined to a building, but is found wherever believers gather in unity to worship in Spirit and in Truth. What was once understood in her mind has now taken root in her heart.

Her mission is to see lives transformed as the Deaf community encounters the love of Christ and is welcomed into authentic, Spirit-filled fellowship.

David and Amy Cartwright serve as missionaries in Costa Rica, where they have spent the past 10 years working among indigenous communities. While they continue this important ministry, their focus has expanded to developing future leaders through the Sarapiquí campus of Alcance Bible School.

This growing campus offers both undergraduate programs and the first locally based graduate program in Central America for the Assemblies of God. Students are equipped with theological and ministry leadership training, along with business and vocational education.

A key part of this vision is a “business as mission” model that helps sustain the school while training students in real-world skills. Through a retreat center, sports and event venues, agricultural initiatives, and trade-based workshops, students earn tuition while gaining experience and raising support to plant churches and send missionaries globally.

Robert and Cilinia Bueno serve as missionaries in El Salvador, partnering with ministries that bring both practical help and the hope of the Gospel. They are actively involved with Latin America ChildCare (LACC), Teen Challenge, and the Assemblies of God University.

Through LACC, more than 600,000 children have been served over the past 40 years, providing care, education, and a foundation of faith. Teen Challenge has equipped over 300 interns, while the university continues to train approximately 800 students for ministry and leadership.

Together, the Buenos are helping extend both earthly and eternal hope, investing in lives that are being transformed for Christ across El Salvador and beyond.

Mark and Dalene Good serve in France, reaching spiritually dry regions by equipping leaders and establishing training hubs to expand Gospel access across Europe. Their ministry focuses on raising up the next generation to pioneer churches and bring the message of Christ to unreached communities.

Tim and Emily Oldenkamp minister to university students in France by building Christ-centered campus communities through Chi Alpha–style ministry. Their heart is to see students transformed by the Gospel and equipped to influence their campuses and culture for Christ.

CVA sponsors a missionary family that serves faithfully to reach people connected to Iran, sharing the hope of the Gospel in a region where following Christ often comes with significant risk. Due to these dangers their names must remain undisclosed.

Through faithful witness, discipleship, and relational ministry, they are bringing the light of Christ to those who may have little or no opportunity to hear the Gospel. Their work requires wisdom, courage, and a deep reliance on God's guidance.

Please join us in praying for these missionaries — for protection, boldness, and open doors — and for those they are reaching, that hearts would be softened and lives transformed by the truth of Jesus Christ.

Lali Wagner serves as a missionary to Latin America with a heart to share the Gospel, strengthen the Church, and encourage communities through the love of Christ. Her ministry is centered on building relationships, equipping believers, and helping reach people with the hope and truth of Jesus.

Through discipleship, outreach, and faithful service, Lali is part of the ongoing work of raising up leaders and supporting ministries that impact lives across Latin America. Please keep her in prayer as she continues to serve and follow God's calling wherever He leads.

Emily Sandoval serves as a missionary to Peru with the Assemblies of God, sharing the hope of the Gospel and investing in the spiritual growth of individuals and communities. With training from the Urban Bible Training Center through Global University, she is equipped to disciple, encourage, and help develop strong foundations of faith.

Her ministry focuses on building relationships, teaching God's Word, and supporting the ongoing work of the Church in Peru. Through faithful service, Emily is helping impact lives and strengthen communities with the love and truth of Jesus Christ.

Scott and Marisa Smith have faithfully ministered in Spain for over 45 years, serving in a nation where a very small percentage of the population identifies as evangelical believers. Despite the challenges, they are now witnessing a renewed movement of God across the country.

Throughout their ministry, the Smiths have been deeply involved in church planting — personally pioneering multiple churches and helping facilitate the planting of dozens more across Spain. Their heart is to see new congregations established and strengthened, equipping local leaders to carry the Gospel forward.

Marisa has also played a key role in leadership development through her work with Bible education in Spain, helping prepare the next generation of pastors and ministry leaders. Together, they continue to serve on a national level, supporting churches and developing creative outreach through the arts.

Leroy and Tami Martinez serve as missionaries in West Africa, a region rich in culture and diversity, yet facing significant spiritual and physical challenges. Many areas have limited access to the Gospel, and communities often experience poverty, hardship, and a strong presence of traditional beliefs.

Through faithful service, Leroy and Tami are helping share the message of Jesus, strengthen local churches, and invest in the lives of individuals and communities. Their work includes building relationships, encouraging believers, and equipping leaders to carry the Gospel into unreached areas.

Serving in this environment requires perseverance, wisdom, and a deep reliance on God. Please join us in praying for their protection, strength, and continued effectiveness.
