Honduras
Diego & Lauren De La Vega
We are the De La Vega family, and we've been serving the Lord in Tegucigalpa, Honduras for over 11 years.  We are an ordinary family loved by an extraordinary God.  Our mission is to help build God's kingdom in Tegucigalpa along with our brothers and sisters at Iglesia Presiteriana Gracia Soverana.  Our current role involves supporting a culture of genuine Gospel grace through Biblical discipleship and hospitality.

Honduras is a beautiful country that is affected by ongoing safety concerns and corruption, yet we firmly believe that Christ is King and that He is doing a mighty work in and through the church here.  

Diego manages a small business and is taking a Masters in Theological Studies virtual program from Seminario Reformado Latinoamericano.  Lauren works at home educating their children Ellie, Joaquin and Rowan, as well as fostering an environment of hospitality for their church family and community.
Please join the De La Vega family in prayer that:
  • the Gospel would deepen in not just the minds but also the hearts of the Church.
  • Guidance for the De La Vega's as they seek out additional ministry opportunities.

Karise Pagano
I am Karise Pagano, an Italian-American missionary to Italy. I have been collaborating with Italian ministries since 2007; and living and serving in Italy full time since January 2013.

 

Less than 1% of Italians claim to be Evangelical Christian. That leaves only 1 professing Evangelical Christian for 250,000 fellow countrymen. Over 22,000 towns and villages throughout Italy are without even one known Evangelical Christian.

 

My vision is to see people living in Italy come to know the Lord as their Savior and to grow in their knowledge and understanding of Him. And to see them reach out into their families and communities, sharing Christ and discipling fellow Believers.

 

My mission is to go and make disciples by building relationships, sharing the Gospel with them, and discipling sisters in Christ as they learn and grow in the knowledge and understanding of our great God. I also assist local ministries through business-practice consulting, administration, event planning, and translation services as we all work together to seek out and served God’s Redeemed in the country of Italy!
