Samantha has been involved in short-term missions since 2013, completing her DTS (Guatemala City) in 2018 and coming on staff in 2019.
Christian is part of our Transportation Department here on base, as well as helping lead and organize our Children’s ministry while Samantha is part of our Communications team and Kitchen teams. Christian and Samantha take part in staffing our youth discipleship school, SST, each November.
The Osorio’s long to see youth coming to know the power and potential they have through biblical study and a personal relationship with Jesus. They hope to inspire new waves of children and teenagers who are passionate about God and about making more disciples. The Osorio’s vision is to see the fruit of long-term discipleship throughout their involvement in various ministries, as well as through sharing their personal testimonies and witness of the faithfulness of God in their lives and in their mission
