This is more than a short-term trip—it’s groundwork for a long-term move into a region where the Gospel is so desperately needed.
Our family is preparing to go on a mission to Macedonia, Malta & the Balkan region—a strategic step toward launching a prayer house and missionary training base closer to the Middle East.
In Macedonia we will be…
Strengthening the prayer house through prayer, intercession, and worship sets.
Meeting with local pastors and leaders to build relationships, strengthen the House of Prayer, and bring unity to the Body of Christ in Macedonia.
Be part of evangelism nights.
Help witih Spanish Club (a tool to evangelize to Muslims)
Participate in an 18-day evangelism event in Skopje and surrounding areas.
As we are based in Macedonia, our hope is to visit Albania as well to connect with churches and ministries, see how the Lord is moving in these nations, and see how we can be a part of it! Click here to donate.
Meet the TEAM we are bringing with us!
The Sanchez family is so special to us. We married them and have been walking together for years. They do ministry in Acatenango, with beautiful discipleship of families, women with weekly bible studies, house visits and ministry with children as well. Their heart and gift of evangelism is admirable! The Lord spoke to them about going to these nations 2 years ago, and now they’re walking in full surrender and obedience by coming with us. The Lord will use them tremendously!
Ashley joined our team 6 months ago. She currently serves with us in the Antigua House of Prayer and serves with Jamey and Angel on Fridays! Ashley has a heart that is eager to learn, grow, and serve anywhere the Lord calls her to! Her gifts are so needed in the Body of Christ. We are very thankful to walk together.
Andrea is a full time missionary from Guatemala. She burns with passion to intercede for the nations and the Lord speaks through her in such a special way. She also was part of our last trip to Turkey and we learned so much with her!
Rachel is part of our team as well in the Antigua House of Prayer and is a skilled violinist and pianist who’s worships the Lord with such a pure heart. We are so excited to see her walking in such boldness and to continue to grow together.
Alexa joined our AHOiP team as well, and she is very gifted! Her creativity is God- given and is following the Lord as He leads her with the gifts she has. She loves children & recently finished a mural that has impacted many kids!
Why these Nations?
As followers of Jesus we are called to GO and make disciples of ALL nations. The Gospel is not limited to the USA or Guatemala, but it is for every nation, every people group, and every tongue.
Macedonia and the Balkan region is a strategic location that provides access to people from nearby nations that are often closed to missionaries. We feel confident that this is where the Lord is calling us in this season as a step into our long term move to this nation.
¿What about Guatemala?
We have an amazing ministry team who will continue ministry in the HOP and medical as well, while we are gone! We believe that it is God who sustains the work being done in Guatemala and He will continue to be faithful in that whether we are there or not. Please pray for provision and more fruitful work for our team. It’s the Lord’s work!
How to support? Prayerfully & Financially
As full-time missionaries, this mission trip is funded completely through donations. However, Willy has been working on making a couple of videos at low cost for some people as part of a strategy to fundraise.
We believe the entire Body of Christ is instructed to help fulfill the great commission; some by going, others by contributing financially, and all through diligent prayer. We are so thankful for the individuals who have already sewn into this trip and ask that you would prayerfully consider sewing into is as well!
If you would still like to sow to our housing cost as a team, we would greatly appreciate it!
As a family, for this specific trip, we are fully funded! (All glory to THE LORD) However, if you would still like to donate any additional gifts, it would be a huge blessing for us to have additional funds for covering unexpected expenses.
