From Spectator to Multiplier: The Impact of Missions Coaching
Reflejo’s Missions Coaching was born in 2024 for leaders passionate about the Great Commission but unsure where to begin. Since then, 177 people from 20 Latin American countries have been equipped, and 95 have continued into a second stage of training in areas such as fieldwork, communications, facilitation, mobilization, and holistic care. Churches that had never participated in global missions are now sending missionaries, caring for those who return, and forming new mobilization groups. The impact is real and visible across Latin America: in Argentina, a church adopted a missionary family in Pakistan for the first time; in Honduras, a pastor’s wife started a missions group in her congregation; in the Dominican Republic, a church activated a formal process and appointed specific leadership; and around twenty people with a clear calling are already preparing to go to the field.
At the center of this movement is the story of Frampton, a 48‑year‑old Salvadoran who went from being a church spectator to becoming a missions trainer. His life was shaped by stages that seemed simple—like playing soccer in his youth or serving in vulnerable communities—but that God used to protect and form him. Later, as a volunteer in the Pashtun Adoption Network (RAP), Frampton connected with Reflejo and found the space he needed to grow.
Missions Coaching became the turning point. There, Frampton understood that missions are not spiritual tourism but a serious calling that requires responsible processes, careful selection of workers, and long‑term vision. He expressed it clearly: “The coaching helped me understand the cost‑benefit of sending, the importance of selecting well those who go to the field, the need for serious processes to avoid misdirected investments, and the spiritual and administrative responsibility of sending.” With the support of Bety, Erick, and Jessica, he learned to unite the spiritual with the administrative and logistical, understanding that rules do not limit but protect, and that sending is not an isolated event but an integral process.
Today, as Missions Director at Iglesia El Camino of the Assemblies of God, Frampton is multiplying what he received. He summarizes it this way: “What I learned at Reflejo I am multiplying in my church, because I believe missionary training is not only to be received but to be reproduced.” He teaches the coaching in a modular format tailored to his church’s context, training new candidates and building a culture of missions. What he learned did not stay with him—he now reproduces it in his community, ensuring responsible and sustainable sending.
His own words confirm it: “My life is a testimony of how God used every stage of my life to lead me to embrace the call to the nations with maturity and to train others on that same path.”
Frampton’s story is evidence of what Missions Coaching seeks to achieve: leaders who are not only trained but become multipliers. He demonstrates that this training transforms individual lives and strengthens entire churches, opening the way for more Latinos to bring the gospel to the unreached.
