The Sanchez Family is from Nicaragua. Eli was raised in a pastoral family where he grew up helping his Dad plant churches in Nicaragua, knowing all along that God had chosen him for pastoral work. Sherling knew when she was little that God had put her here on earth to work as a missionary. She started going on short mission trips when she was 14 years old. After attending missions school for 3 years, she was a missionary in Africa.

They met and got married 2 years later, and together they were pastoring and training short-term missionaries, traveling, and leading mission trips in Latin America. They established the Transcultural Missions Academy of AG in Nicaragua to train missionary families for long-term missions.

Now they have Mateo, Santiago, and Sofia, and as a family, the Sanchezes are serving in Spain with the passion and call of planting churches and training missionaries. They first planted the multicultural church House of Nations in the center of Madrid. They have a passion to see Muslim communities know about Jesus and be witnesses of transformation by the power of God.

We praise God for Mateo, Santiago, and Sofia’s hearts for God, the easy kids they are, and the passion they have for serving people; it’s just amazing. Sofia loves serving the babies, and Mat and Santi love serving the teenagers. Thank you for having them in your thoughts and prayers.
