Amanda de la Vega Tovar
Amanda serves with YUGO Ministries in Ensenada, Mexico. Since God broke through to her on a church-planting mission trip in Argentina in 2009, Amanda has felt the call to serve in cross-cultural global missions. Watching how God has used each season of her life to prepare her has been a reminder, God does not waste a thing.
YUGO Ministries mission is to mobilize and equip God’s people to reach the forgotten. They aim to see Mexico impacted and the world transformed with the Gospel of Jesus. Through building homes and leading outreaches throughout the Ensenada Valley, YUGO connects service teams to local pastors, giving them the opportunity to reach new areas and individuals in their communities. YUGO facilitates the mobilization of short-term mission teams through hosting, dynamic programming, worship, and service.
Amanda has a passion for encouraging believers to step into the Great Commission and she is excited to be able to do so with hundreds who visit Ensenada. She is also passionate about raising up this generation to follow the Lord now and for the rest of their lives through discipleship, ministry training, and service. Her experience as a Minister to Students for 9 years in California has prepared her to lead interns at YUGO and assist at YUGO Church, a bilingual church-plant of the ministry.
Raised on the Central Coast of California in Monterey, Amanda grew up in a bilingual and bicultural home. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Ministry, Biblical Studies, and Spanish from Azusa Pacific University and a Masters of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary. Amanda loves spending quality time with people (usually around the table or with a cup of tea), learning from other cultures and speaking Spanish.
