Purpose
A core function of our vision is to see the Latin American church mobilized towards the unreached. We do this by empowering lay leaders to become advocates for prayer, volunteering, giving, and going, through various ministries such as RAP, LATE and NubeDoce.
Mission statement
We evaluate, train, and send long-term missionaries and teams to live incarnationally among the unreached, walking alongside them as they strive to create, sustain, and multiply gospel movements.
Statement of faith
God exists and has revealed Himself to humanity. The Bible is a special expression of this revelation. This revelation also finds its ultimate expression in the incarnation of Jesus Christ. God is spirit and eternally exists in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, indivisible and of one substance.
The Bible, all the books of the Old and New Testament, is Holy Scripture, the inspired Word of God, infallible and inerrant in the original writings. It is fully authoritative and our only absolutely trustworthy guide for faith and life.
We believe that human beings were created in the image of God; that men and women sinned, and thereby incurred, not only physical death, but also that Spiritual death which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature.
Jesus Christ is Lord of heaven and earth, preexistent with the Father, God of very God. He is the eternal Word become flesh, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary. He was crucified, suffered, bled and died. He was buried and three days later rose from the grave victorious over death and the powers of darkness. He ascended to the right hand of God the Father where He is glorified as Lord of all. He is the only mediator between God and human beings. He is the God-given atonement for the sins of the world and there is salvation in Him and Him alone.
The Holy Spirit convinces men and women of sin, effectually calls them, and is the divine agent by whom they are born into the Kingdom of God. He indwells, enlightens, and empowers believers to live in union with Christ.
Human beings are accountable for their response to the forgiveness, pardon and reconciliation offered them in the Lord Jesus Christ. When an individual trusts in Him, the person is justified by God and adopted into His family. Failure to believe in Him results in eternal separation from God.
God's will for believers is for them to exhibit transformed lives evidenced by purity, holiness, and growth in Christ-like character. He desires that they each participate, according to their spiritual gifts, in the task of effectively sharing the gospel message of salvation with those, near and far, who have yet to believe in Jesus.
The Church consists of all those who have trusted the Lord Jesus Christ. The primary purpose of the Church is to worship God and glorify Him by building up believers and effectively reaching the world with the gospel of Christ.
Jesus Christ will return, raise the dead, judge all men and women, and establish his glorious Kingdom.

History
Since 2017, a Latin American prayer network called RAP (or Pashtun Adoption Network in Spanish), has been galvanizing Latin American churches to pray and become involved in reaching Pashtuns. Through prayer, God raised several Latin American candidates to inquire how they may reach Pashtuns in Afghanistan and Pakistan, but could not find a suitable Latino missions organization working in the region.
In 2020, Reflejo's founder, Dave Matthews, alongside his wife, Sarah, felt the call from God to start Reflejo, a Latin American missions agency led by Latinos, sending Latinos to catalyze Gospel Movements among the unreached.
Reflejo is the Spanish word for 'reflection,' which reminds us that our role is to reflect Christ and His Word instead of our own culture or expectations. We also remember that not long ago, Latin America was just as unreached. Since the unreached are a reflection of our past, we expect God can bring drastic gospel transformation in just a short time.
Despite a global pandemic and major unrest in Central Asia, in 2022, Reflejo sent their first missionary to Central Asia.
