Through prayer and fasting, God opened an opportunity to serve Malaybalay, Bukidnon, Philippines, and engage with Natidasan Christian Community Church. Uncertain of His plans, we trust His lead and eagerly embrace living on the edge with Jesus. Our hearts long to serve Him in any way He chooses. Grateful for this chance to learn and grow while serving in the Philippines!

こんにちは [Konnichiwa]! We are Ramsey and Rachel Gomez, we have one baby boy named Solomon and another baby boy on the way. We knew that the Lord has convicted and called us to serve the unreached people groups and we were praying for several years about where He would send us, but then God opened a unique opportunity to serve in Japan. We are partnering with a church called Onnuri Christian Church in Osaka to pioneer an English service contextualized for the needs of discipling the young Japanese generation. The long-term desire is to be a part of a church planting movement where we can plant an Awaken church that raises up nationals to become pastors and leaders so that they can continue to plant more churches and reach the inland parts of Japan. We are dedicated to committing our whole lives here training, equipping, and building relationships with the Japanese people where their population composes only 0.8% of Evangelical [Gospel-believing] Christians.

Please continue to pray for us as we learn the language, integrate into the culture, and become effective witnesses so that Christ would be named in this country. Thank you for all your prayers and your support as we minister in Japan. God bless!

Rich and Sue have been working with unreached people groups since 1981. An unreached people group is an ethnic group without an indigenous, self-propagating Christian church movement. We focus on using media strategy to enable seekers to identify themselves to national and expatriate workers in their country, who can share the Gospel and disciple them with the aim of seeing a church planting movement. Today, this is primarily an online digital strategy using social media platforms and advertising to provide a way for many thousands of unreached people to learn about and follow Jesus. Learn more about media to movements by visiting www.mediatomovements.org.

• Pray with us that we will grow to be more like Jesus daily, reflecting him to all those we encounter.

• Pray that God will establish multiplying churches among the unreached peoples of the world

I was apart of the Vastagos internship at Awaken DTC in 2023. During that time the Lord called me to missions, to go to the unreached in the 10/40 window. Then I was able to go to the second phase of the internship and the Lord opened doors to serve here in Tijuana, at Awaken DTC. Since April 2024 I have been serving full time in different areas: media, accounting, helping with the “Vastagos” summer program, sometimes with the short-term mission teams, and I teach children in the “Niños del Rey” ministry. 

My heart is still with the unreached, I thank the Lord even though its not his time for me to go yet, I can serve Him in this incredible place and at the same time I know that He is preparing me for the next step.

The Valenzuela Family currently lives in Madrid, Spain where they have been actively planting the church RAÍCES MADRID since October of 2017.

Tifiny and Esteban came from very different homes. Tifiny grew up in a conservative Christian home where she was raised with biblical values. Esteban was raised in a much more liberal environment and lived wildly during his young adult years. Shortly after getting saved in 1999 the Lord took Esteban on an adventure that spanned the USA and Europe, eventually leading him to West Virginia where he met Tifiny in early 2004. After marrying in 2005 Esteban and Tifiny lived in Southern California where they worked and served in the local church. Within the next ten years the Lord added three beautiful children to our family.

In 2010 the Lord began to stir Esteban’s heart for Spain during a season of intense suffering and trials. While still serving in the local church the Lord confirmed the call to Spain between 2010 to 2014. Having the support of the church and the elders of CC Canyon Hills we launched out as a family of 5 to Spain, where we have residing since January of 2015.

The Wilsons have been serving with Youth for Christ International since 1998.  What propels them forward is the vision of seeing the church planted among every tribe, tongue, people group, and nation.  They are also passionate about creating self-sustaining ministry models that allow individuals from indigenous communities to carry on the work of evangelism and discipleship without having to depend on donations and funding.  Since 2010, they have been equipping young leaders and church planters all across the globe to use business as a way to catalyze spiritual, economic, and social transformation for the glory of God.  They help lead the Live Dead Arab World Church Planting Partnership which plants churches, among the unreached of the Arab World, through teams.
