Latin American missionaries called to gospel movements among the unreached.

FROM THE FIELD

On a trip to a town outside the capital, Marisa met Madina and Zarina, two deaf girls who attended a local school—though in reality it was just a small classroom with a few toys.

She learned that although the school had a program for children with disabilities, there was nothing for children with hearing loss. The deaf community was largely overlooked.

“Who will share the Gospel with them?” Marisa asked herself.

Even though Marisa had been in the country for only a few months at that point, she doubled down on her language studies. Marisa knew that Madina, Zarina, and their friends needed someone to share Jesus with them.

Sixteen months after arriving in Tajikistan, Marisa was highly proficient in Tajik and had earned her TSL certification.

Marisa now lives in Madina and Zarina’s village. She’s the only believer there who speaks TSL.

To everyone else, the deaf community is invisible, but not to Jesus, and not to Marisa.

WHY PARTNER WITH LATINO MISSIONARIES?

The Great Commission applies to Latinos as well, and we must respond in obedience.

As Latinos, we have common historical roots with the Middle East and Asia, and can often go deeper, faster in relationships.

Because of geopolitical realities, Westerners aren’t welcome or safe in some countries where, oftentimes, Latinos will still be welcomed.

The Western church brought Latin America the gospel and taught us to multiply locally. Helping us discover our missionary potential is the next natural step in discipleship.
