Manu and Liz Salas-Sweigart

Hola! Thanks for taking a minute to get to know more about us. We are the Salas-Sweigart family and we have been serving at VidaNet in Costa Rica for over 10 years now. Our journey started as participants in a 10 month discipleship training school called Vida220 where we later served as team leaders and then as the program coordinators. We have had the privilege to serve as part of the Leadership Team and in many of the other ministries under VidaNet. 

What we love to do most and what God has given us a passion for is mobilizing the Latin American church to missions. One of our favorite definitions for mobilization comes from Fred Markert. He says, “Mobilization is the process of envisioning and educating God’s people about his strategic plans for the world. And it is the means of keeping them involved and moving forward until they find their specific place and role in world evangelization.” That is what we strive to do in every ministry we are part of! Through VidaNet, we lead a program called Vida Global which focuses on bringing missions education courses to the local church, serving as a bridge between people from Central America who are called to missions and the existing agencies here, and providing missions internship opportunities for young people who want to explore and clarify their calling to missions. We also serve on the national coordination teams for both Perspectives and Simply Mobilizing in Costa Rica. There is much work to be done in reaching the unreached with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and we believe that Latinos will play a major role in the fulfillment of the Great Commission. Thank you for partnering with us through your prayers and financial support. 

We would love to hear from you!
