Nathan & Christine Alfaro
Nicaragua
Nathan, Christine, Alexa (19), Emily (17), Isabella (13) and Lucas (8) have been Global Workers in Nicaragua for 29 years. We have served primarily as church planters and have planted over 30 churches in Nicaragua.
We are currently pastors of Casa de Mi Gloria in Managua that we started on the back porch of our home 14 years ago. Since then, we have planted 15 more campuses in Managua and in various cities outside of Managua.
We also direct a children’s center in the old city dump, we have 30 students in our preschool that receive free education and a meal everyday. Also at the children’s center, we serve a hot lunch every week to 250 kids from the community called Acahualinca. We also have a kids church on Sundays at this location.
We also conduct a daily radio program called Faro del Espíritu which is on 9 radio stations across the nation sharing the Word of God and applying it to every day life.
We also have a training center where we train young men and women for ministry, giving them courses through global university and practical training as well.

Church Planting through creative access in Eurasia*
We have advocated and called India home since 2018! We’ve committed ourselves to work on a church-planting team and help support the visionary work of making Christ known where He is currently not known. We became commissioned M* Associates through AGWM (fully appointed by Fall 2024) and serve with LiveDead. Live Dead’s name comes from Paul’s writings of the crucified life (Philippians 1:21) and reflects its mission—to die to self and put Christ’s passions and priorities above our own.
It is a church planting movement that is accessing the unreached through business platforms/community centers, and these Business Platforms Help Create Access to Unreached People Groups. We have been part of a Football (soccer) Academy and a Cafe that has allowed us access to new friends and a community in a developing part of the city. Through these platforms God has allowed us to host home gatherings where we invite friends to walk with us as we walk with Jesus, where we have a time of worship and intentional discipleship with people who have never heard or are interested in knowing more about Jesus. We couldn’t do this without you, so thank you for your investment in the expansion of the Kingdom.
Victor & Lynn Diaz
El Salvador
In 1973, Victor and Lynn responded to God’s call to Global work serving in Mexico, Paraguay, and Guatemala, For the last 35 years they have served in El Salvador. They were involved in various ministries including planting churches with tent crusades, leadership and discipleship training, as well as courses to introduce pastors to establishing cell group ministry.
Throughout their years of service Lynn has been involved in providing and developing children’s ministry. Following completion of her medical degree Lynn established a clinic providing free medical, dental, and counseling care for pastors and their families. An additional part of this ministry has been to support pastors and churches with a medical evangelism outreach into their local communities. This also enabled ministry to medical professionals, teaching them to use their skills to reach souls and take territory for the kingdom of God. At the present time Victor and Lynn are finishing work on a medical clinical building that will house the ministry of the Good Samaritan Clinic.
Thank you for partnering with them in these ministries!
Don & Cyndie Jeter
Global University
The Jeter’s ministry can be accurately described as “Missions Without Borders.” Electronic technology allows them to train pastors & ministers on several continents simultaneously, increasing their ministry exponentially. Revival is blazing and churches are being founded at an unprecedented rate creating a vital need for sound Pentecostal Bible training. Those trained in turn reach their own people with the Word in the power of the Spirit living out “Reaching the Lost by Training the Found” in the farthest corners of the world, overcoming political, ideological, geographical and religious barriers!
In 52+ years with AGWM the Jeters founded the Bible School in Lisbon, Portugal, ministered in Spain for 20+ years directing ICI/Global, pastoring, teaching, and mass evangelism. They spent their last term mentoring pastors, church planting, writing, and teaching at the seminary. They ministered in Cuba 12 years helping establish a solid biblical/theological base at a time of revival and incredible growth. They taught with the Facultad and in national conferences throughout Latin America & Caribbean, establishing sound Biblical doctrine and refuting heresies.
Besides partnering in ministry with her husband, Cyndie served as an elder in a church plant in Alcalá de Henares, Madrid. She counseled and mentored numerous Bible School students, pastors’ wives & Global Workers drawing on her decades of experience as a cross-cultural Global Worker, her practice as a Registered Nurse, as well as a mother of 4 and grandmother of 10 grandchildren. She is admired by friends & acquaintances as a woman of faith and a prayer warrior.
Guillermo & Mary Landa
Mexico
Guillermo and Mary Landa are Global Workers to Mexico who focus on training others to reach the unreached. On March 18, 2016, they received accreditation from the Department of Education for the first University of the Assemblies of God in Mexico. Immediate construction projects were completed and classes began in 2017. By 2021 (despite the contingency and uncertainty of 2020), they had managed to prepare and support the first generation of graduates.
Going forward, the Landas plan to update and innovate their strategies to impact a society that does not know Jesus. They will do this by developing a Bachelor of Theology online and gaining its accreditation. They will also continue the construction of the first Assemblies of God University. Partner with them on this amazing journey!
Randy & Janie (Wead) Mobley
Inter-cultural Ministries
Janie felt a call to Global service as a child and has joyfully served out a lifetime in both foreign and domestic mission assignments. Understanding that the “go” of the Great Commission also includes Samaria, Janie became involved in church planting among U.S. Hispanics in the State of Arkansas, and in the process, brought together a team of aggressive church planters, both couples and singles. Known as Hispanic Project, their goal was to establish new works in every Spanish speaking concentration of people in the State. In 1997, Hispanic Project became a National initiative of the Assemblies of God U.S. Missions. The churches now spread across the entirety of Arkansas, and many other States, and continue to multiply into the thrilling phenomenon of 2nd and 3rd generation church plants. Today, Hispanics the largest and fastest growing segment of U.S. society; with only 2% evangelized, the mandate is clear: “Lift up your eyes and look on the fields, for they are ripe unto harvest.” Janie continues to lead Hispanic Project and serves under national appointment of The Assemblies of God U.S. Mission and has brought together a team of planters now focused on the Hispanic church planting needs of the South-Central Hispanic District. The focus is the Metroplex of Dallas-Ft. Worth, now numbering 8 million, where 3 new churches are in birthing progress and Oklahoma a state in great increase of Hispanic families. She is married to James Rand Mobley and they have 6 children and 28 grand-children.

Chris & McKenzie Reyna
Chi Alpha
My wife and I have been married since June 28, 2023! I am a Global Worker to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, and my wife is a basketball coach and teacher at Bauxite High School. I get to minister to the students at the university, and she gets to show the love of Christ in the classroom. We walk with people daily, whether they have both parents in their lives or not—people who are broken, desiring to be seen and loved. I get to show them what the Father says about them in Scripture, and my wife gets to show them with acts of service and affirmation. The enemy is trying to attack our youth with comparison from social media, drugs, alcohol, vapes, etc. Please partner with us in prayer against these traps, that the students would encounter Jesus and choose to surrender their entire lives to Him. Please pray and consider joining us in furthering the kingdom of God in the students’ lives by joining our support team financially! Thank you for planting the seed!
