Faithbridge Dayenu
Leon, Nicaragua
Joe and Marcela Sevilla were born and raised in the city of León, Nicaragua. At a young age, they received God's call to serve in a local church where they met and grew up in the worship and youth ministries. They married in 2011 and have two children Ariadna and Joe Marcelo. In August 2021, they received God's call to start a church in León. They began gathering people in a small room at Marcela's mother's business. In September, they met with Pastor Paul White, the Senior Pastor of Faithbridge Church. Following that meeting, Faithbridge Dayenu was born with the vision of making disciples who make disciples. Today, Faithbridge Dayenu is a growing church with a vision to plant three new churches and establish 900 disciples in Nicaragua.

Faithbridge Español

Will and Dayana Zuleta came from Venezuela to the United States in 2020 following a very clear call from the Lord. God placed in their hearts the vision to serve and help plant a Hispanic church that would reach families for Christ here in Jacksonville, Florida. Today, Will serves as the Pastor of Faithbridge Español and he is a Church Planter for the North American Mission Board. Together, they've had the privilege of walking with families, discipling new believers, and building a community where people from different countries can come together to worship Jesus.

God's Body Church
Toronto, Canada
Nathanael & Semaneh Fallahi are a Persian-speaking family serving in Toronto, Canada, with a passion to share the hope and love of Christ among newcomers, refugees, and the Iranian community. After leaving Iran because of their Christian faith and ministry background, God opened a new door for them to continue serving Him in Canada. Over the years, they have been involved in pastoral ministry, discipleship, biblical teaching, and counseling ministry among Farsi-speaking people. Their church exists to proclaim the Gospel, build authentic Christian community, and help people encounter Jesus personally. Nathanael & Semaneh especially desire to walk alongside those who feel lonely, wounded, displaced, or spiritually searching. Through Bible studies, worship gatherings, prayer, and practical support, they seek to reflect the love and grace of Christ in everyday life.
