:: About Sandy ::
My Story:
Hi! My name is Sandra Garcia, but everyone calls me Sandy. I am the second of
six children. I am Mexican-American. I speak both English and Spanish fluently
(working on Romanian!). I grew up in the Miami, Florida area until I was about 15
and then moved to the Valley of Texas. I lived there for four years. I attended Texas
Pan-American for two semesters. My first semester was the season that impacted
my life tremendously. During this time I met several young ladies in my dorm that
loved God and taught me what they knew. They taught me by example, love, and
the Word.
My family were migrant farm
workers and traveled to several
states to work the fields. During
the summer after I received
Christ we came to Indiana to work.
That is how I met Linda Buckley.
She helped me find a two year
scholarship and she and her
family allowed me to live in their
home. So I stayed in Indiana and
continued my education.
When I finished college, I took
my teaching degree to Mexico as a
missionary teacher for six months. I then returned to Indiana and took a fourth
grade teaching job in the town of Frankfort. I taught there four years.
But then... God led me to this new phase in my life, Romania! I had made short
missions trips during my vacations as a teacher, and eventually began to

Missionary to Romania

sense God would soon send
me out. When I went on my first
trip to Romania, I knew this was
where God was calling me.
Now been in here for 14
months! The time has flown by
so fast. I now understand and
speak the Romania language
which helps so much!
To anyone reading this who
feels a serious call to missions,
let me tell you, God's plans are
so much better than what we
leave behind to pursue them!

I cannot imagine life without this place, these people. Walking out my life in
obedience to God is the greatest honor.
As far as the future goes, I see myself living here until God calls me
elsewhere. In the meantime, my goal is to train and equip the children, youth, and
adults that I work with in the Word, in love, and by example. My vision is to see this
people group grow into strong men and woman of God, full of the Holy Spirit and
led by His voice in every area of their lives.
