A missions agency by Latinos,
for Latinos to the unreached.
Our Story
Since 2017, a Latin American prayer network called RAP (or Pashtun Adoption Network in Spanish), has been galvanizing Latin American churches to pray and become involved in reaching Pashtuns. Through prayer, God raised several Latin American candidates to inquire how they may reach Pashtuns in Afghanistan and Pakistan, but could not find a suitable Latino missions organization working in the region.
In 2020, Reflejo’s founder, Dave Matthews, alongside his wife, Sarah, felt the call from God to start Reflejo, a Latin American missions agency led by Latinos, sending Latinos to catalyze Gospel Movements among the unreached.
Reflejo is the Spanish word for ‘reflection,’ which reminds us that our role is to reflect Christ and His Word instead of our own culture or expectations. We also remember that not long ago, Latin America was just as unreached. Since the unreached are a reflection of our past, we expect God can bring drastic gospel transformation in just a short time.
Despite a global pandemic and major unrest in Central Asia, in 2022, Reflejo sent their first missionary to Central Asia.
Why Partner with
Latino Missionaries?
We’re Called Too: The Great Commission applies to Latinos as well, and we must respond in obedience.
Cultural Edge: As Latinos, we have common historical roots with the Middle East and Asia, and can often go deeper, faster in relationships.
Unique Access: Because of geopolitical realities, Westerners aren´t welcome or safe in some countries where, oftentimes, Latinos will still be welcomed.
Next Step: 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.
Our Values
We are Creatives
Visionaries, innovators, and entrepreneurs. We seek opportunities to collaborate with God in new and creative ways. We are pioneers of new and fresh ideas as traditional models and methods become ineffective.
We are Risk-Takers
Constantly rising to the level of new horizons and willing to give our lives for the cause of Christ. We accept the call to go to hard places, following Christ to the oppressed, ignored and invisible even when the sacrifice it demands us is great.
We are Disciples
Committed to knowing and following Jesus. We seek intimacy with Jesus as our priority and foundation. We dedicate ourselves to listening to the Spirit to receive wisdom, strategy, and direction.
We are Catalysts
Multiplying our impact by equipping and empowering others. We desire movements of God that extend far beyond what we can accomplish alone; therefore we identify and equip men and women who will further this vision and we empower them to go.
