Sebastian and Daniela are Caminemos Juntos missionaries from Santiago, Chile who have felt a special missionary call to minister to Latino immigrant families in the US.
In January of 2020 they will be leaving all behind and relocating their family to Chicago to serve at Iglesia de la Resurrección, a Latino congregation currently meeting on Saturday evenings at the Cathedral, Church of the Resurrection.
They currently attend Iglesia Anglicana Cristo Redentor (Anglican Church of the Redeemer) in Santiago and have been active members of the Anglican Church of Chile for over 20 years.
Sebastian (44) studied Veterinary medicine and is currently working in sales and Daniela (39) is a qualified special needs teacher. They have been married for 14 years and have three children: Amalia (12), Mateo (9) and Marina (5).
Sebastian and Daniela have a special calling to working with children and youth and strengthening and supporting marriages. They have ministered to families out of their own experiences and firmly believe that only Jesus can make a family flourish. They carry a burden for the restoration of immigrant Latino families, many of whom are struggling due to the stress of relocation and surviving in a new land and sense it to be an urgent matter. They are responsive and motivated leaders who have dedicated their lives and gifts the growth of the church and the glory of Jesus’s name in Chile.
In January 2017 they participated in a weeklong Latino church planting training with Caminemos Juntos in Oak Park and also participated in the Caminemos Juntos conference in Brazil in October of 2017. They have been approved by Bishop Tito Zavala of Chile to serve as missionaries with the Greenhouse Movement and have undergone a discernment and application process with Fr. Jonathan Kindberg and the Caminemos Juntos movement.
