Getting to
the field is
half the
mission.

Staying there is the other half.

Most missionaries don’t leave the field
because they lost their calling.
They leave because nobody was there when it got hard.
THE REALITY NOBODY TALKS ABOUT
That’s what we’re here to change.
This Is Vida exists to make sure missionaries don’t just make it to the field... they stay, they thrive, and they finish well.
WHO WE ARE
WE’RE MIGUEL & ANGELA
We've been in ministry long enough to know what it costs... and what it's worth. We started This Is Vida because missionaries kept showing up to us burned out, lonely, and convinced they were the only ones struggling.
They weren't. And they aren't. This is the thing we wish someone had built for us.
WHAT WE OFFER
BUILT FOR EVERY
stage of the field.
Whether you’re pre-field, knee-deep in year three, or running on empty... there’s something here for you.

Missionary Care
Real support for the emotional, relational, and spiritual weight of the field. Because thriving isn’t a luxury... it’s the mission.

Voices of gratitude
“I am very thankful for the time that I spent under the leadership of Ang and Miguel. Stepping into missions at such a young age felt like such an easy yes for me to give in the beginning, but I quickly started to experience the challenges of starting a life in a new country in my early 20s. They were quick to listen and also offer perspective and challenge me in my walk with Jesus. I am very thankful for all that I learned during my time with them!”
NIKKI
Missionary in Guatemala
“I’ve known them since 2020. They have always been a very caring couple who were available to counsel, mentor and encourage me. They have a heart to love on others and encourage them to walk in the calling God has over their lives. I believe they are gifted in fundraising and I have had the pleasure of learning from them. We had several conversations on how to fundraise and they were always available to help me create presentations. Not only are they great at practical things but they also always open their home up to have people come and rest in their space. I have been so blessed to know them and have definitely grown so much through my relationship with them.”
