SGF Missions
Missions Guides & Applications
Jackson Family - Wycliffe
Jason and Leslie joined Wycliffe in 2018 and serve the GTIS department in Web Development, supporting Wycliffe’s vision that people from every language will understand the Bible and be transformed. Around 550 languages still need to have translation started.
Will you prayerfully consider partnering with their Wycliffe ministry through prayer and/or financial giving? Bible translation is a huge task, but together we can make it live for all peoples in their heart language!
Beaumont Family - West Africa
The Beaumont family (Jeff, Jackie, Lauren, Sam and Sadie) left in July 2024 for a 2-year opportunity to volunteer for Mercy Ships. They are bringing hope and healing in the name of Jesus onboard a hospital ship in Sierra Leone. Jeff is the Finance Director onboard the Ship “The Global Mercy”.
Vazquez Family - Mexico
Jorge, his wife Maty, and their 5 children have been serving God by bringing the gospel to the people of Ajusco, Mexico and the surrounding migrant farms for many years.

Lisbeth Piedrasanta - Bridge Ministry
Over the last several years, our very own Lisbeth Piedrasanta has been ministering to the families who live under a bridge in Guatemala. We call it the “Bridge Ministry.” So far, God has allowed her to help 70 families find shelter, but more are in need. Every family hears the gospel and many are being discipled. Financial support for Lisbeth comes from gifts designated for the Bridge Ministry given to our church.
Aguilar Family - Guatemala
Jacobo & Betty's Team
Josias, Candy, Samuel & David
The Aguilars bring the love and hope of Jesus to families in rural Guatemala and women/children in Guatemalan government homes.
100% of the financial support for the Aguilars comes from donations given to our church, designated for Guatemala.
Young Adults Heart Kenya 2026
We hope to embrace HEART’s vision of empowering the next generation within our church body. We have a team of young adults that went to Kenya in June 2025 and have plans to take a new group in 2026.
2026 trip is scheduled for June 18 – July 3, 2026.
Together with HEART’s indigenous team members, in June 2025, they participated in their various ministries at NextGen Centers, WEEP Centers, and local schools. They also assisted in building four houses for families in need who are selected by HEART.
We are excited to share what the Lord is doing in Kenya!
