Argimiro (Gino) Sanchez was born in Panama City, Panama. He came to know the Lord in a Foursquare Church in Chilibre at the age of 8 years of age. He continued in the church throughout his youth. He entered the Arthur F. Edwards Bible Institute in 1987 and graduated in 1989. Immediately upon his graduation, he began pastoring a church outside of Panama City in a small town called Don Bosco. In 1991, he married Bonita Schwartz and they continued pastoring his church. In 1994, they moved to the state of Illinois, and founded the Familia de Cristo Foursquare Church in LaSalle, IL. While there, their son Gino was born in 1995. In 1997, they moved to Pennsylvania, where their daughter Katie was born in June of that year. While there, they ministered in various churches and Bonita’s home church.

In 2001, at the invitation of Pastor Ilya Carrera, they returned to Panama to work in Centro Cristiano Bethania as Associate Pastors and Children and Youth Ministers.
 

Bonita (Schwartz) Sanchez was born in Lykens, PA. Her parents came to know the Lord shortly after her birth. She grew up in the Muir Foursquare Gospel Church and came to accept the Lord as her Saviour as a child. She was very active in the church and upon her graduation from High School, she attended and graduated from Zion Bible Institute in Rhode Island. She went to Guatemala and worked there for a year and a half with missionaries Irvin and Florence Espeseth, gaining a wealth of experience in that country.
After returning to the USA, she traveled to Oak Lawn, IL and became an Assistant to Pastor Josephine Dalrymple for several years. She also worked in the DeKalb, IL Foursquare Church and then returned to her home church in Pennsylvania in 1982. An invitation was given her later that year to go to Panama and work with Rev. and Mrs. Lewis Richey. The doors were opened, and she traveled to Panama for what was supposed to be one year. That period of time has grown to a total of 20 years of ministry in the country of Panama.
