SERVING IN : Costa Rica
MINISTRY FOCUS : Mobilization
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!

SERVING IN : Ukraine, Europe
MINISTRY FOCUS : Evangelism, Mercy Ministry
We are the Perekotiys, a Ukrainian and American family! We have been entrusted with four beautiful children: Chambers (2013), Lev (2015), Mila (2016), and Remington (2019). Our story began when we met in Ukraine in 2008. After living on the Gulf Coast of Alabama, we packed up our gang in 2018 and moved to Odesa, Ukraine, a beautiful, historic port city on the Black Sea. While visiting family in Alabama in 2022, the full-scale invasion broke out in Ukraine. We decided to remain in the US for the 2022-23 school year while supporting our partners in Ukraine through the War Relief Fund. In August 2023, we launched back overseas to share the Gospel among Ukrainians. We are based out of Bucharest, Romania, where we can serve refugees and be close to the Ukrainian border.
Through the War Relief Fund we have sent medical aid, vehicles, food, and education supplies to those in need. The needs of the vulnerable will only increase as this crisis continues, and we are committed to partnering with our friends and partners to meet those needs. We pray to use these resources to rebuild Ukraine when the war ends.
Our heartbeat has always been caring for the vulnerable and fatherless. Our vision is to see Christ proclaimed as we serve vulnerable children and families with national partners and churches. We also serve the unreached deaf community, and provide training and trauma resources for families and volunteers. Thank you for journeying with us!
