The Sanchez’s

Manuel grew up in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He trusted in Christ as a teenager and felt a call to be a minister. Jenna was born and raised in Wakarusa, Indiana, and made a profession of faith at a young age.

Manuel and Jenna have four children: Josue, Noemi, Natan, and Salome. In July 2019, the Lord rekindled Manuel's desire to return and serve in his homeland, the Dominican Republic. The Sanchez family was sent out to the DR by Gospel Hope Church (Atlanta, GA), in partnership with Summit Church (RDU, NC).

By God’s grace, the Sanchez family, alongside three other families (the Abreus, Suarez, and Martinos), planted Iglesia Ciudad de Gracia on January 30, 2022, and recently celebrated its two-year anniversary.
