Sanchez News
Coffee Ministry?
We have been attending International Friendship Church for the last two years here in Costa Rica (Spanish speaking).
There is a huge need of a ministry serving the marriages everywhere.
In our small church several couples have been approaching us for counseling. They have encouraged us to start a ministry to serve them and to teach them about Christian principles for marriages, parents, etc.
We built a team and have been meeting once a week to seek the Lord in order to know what would be the best way to take for feeding the marriages from our church and outside.
Well, we just started a ministry called “CAFÉ” which is the word in Spanish for coffee. The acronym means “committed to reach families for their growth”.
Please pray that this effort in our local church brings glory to God through helping families inside and outside our church for them to be better Christ-centered.
Wedding in Costa Rica
Rosalia and I have been teaching a prenuptial course to a sweet couple of Costaricans for the last three months.
Angelo is a pastor’s grandson and Daniela is a pastor’s daughter.
What a privilege that both families asked us to spend time with this young couple to share Bible principles and life experiences.
What a blessing as we attended to their civil wedding at the beautiful Pacific coast here in Costa Rica. I (Mauricio) brought a short Bible message during this special activity.
Guatemala STS Workshops
We are partnering with The God´s Story Project and CAM International to conduct five STS (Simply The Story) workshops in Guatemala.
The idea is meeting the needs of effective communication of the Gospel to the Mayan people groups both literate and nonliterate (6 languages).
Our missionary Regina Manley already conducted the first workshop last January. This is impacting missionaries and Bible students.
She is actually following up the results and multiplication processes.
Deputation Trip to Florida: April
During our 15+ years of ministry most of our trips involve Bible teaching, preaching, Christian service and Gospel sharing.
Times come where our trips involve some of the previous activities but are more focused in sharing our vision, passion and ministry with others.
What we try to pursue is challenging others to make our vision, passion and ministry theirs.
Many Christians dream along their lives of going sometime in the future to serve the Lord… that is a great desire and thought, but there are other ways to serve staying in our home country:
praying for missionaries.
Sharing about missionary work using email, mail, coffee meetings, church presentations.

1. Praying for missionaries.
2. Sharing about missionary work using email, mail, coffee meetings, church presentations.
3. Giving to missions and challenging others to do so.
We visited the state of Florida on April 2009, with the goal of sharing our ministry with churches, groups and individuals.
We have been underfunding for a long period, and this situation takes us out of actual ministry having to spend many hours trying to contact potential donors.
