As we work in Mexico, Romania and Nicaragua, we are continually thankful for the partnerships we’ve made over the past 35+ years. As a ministry, we have walked through many different seasons but throughout them all God’s provision has been revealed through the generosity of people just like you. It is only through your partnership in child sponsorship, missions, finances, prayer, and countless other ways, that we are able to continue the work we are doing in the nations.
As the work we are doing in the nations expands, it has become clear that our partnership with like-minded people must also expand. With that in mind, we would love to partner with you and your ministry.
It would be an honor to have you consider joining with us in raising awareness by having someone from The Mission team, share at one of your gatherings or promote an upcoming mission trip.
We believe wholeheartedly that the Lord has called us, to the nations, to fight to see an orphan-less world in our lifetime. The past 35+ years would not have been possible on our own and we know the next years will not be either.
Thank you in advance for considering helping us raise awareness for The Mission and His heart for the nations, we look forward to partnering with you.

Sandra’s journey with The Mission began in the late ‘80s when she first visited with her family and local church. As a teenager, she returned as a summer intern and joined the staff in her early twenties as a house mom.

WORSHIP TEAM
The Mission’s worship community is a group of people longing to see a generation transformed through encounters with the love of God. It is the worship movement of an international non-profit who has been fighting to see an orphan-less world since 1987. Although beginning in Mexico, The Mission is now working in Romania, Nicaragua and Mexico.
Worship is at the center of The Mission and everything they do is an overflow of that. They released their first EP, Puedo Sentirte, in 2011 and have since released two singles, Tu Gozo and Inunda la Tierra.
