Missionaries USA/Canada Region; Bless Our Communities Initiative

Sam and Kristi Senica are lifelong Nazarenes who met in youth group at Crossbridge Community Church of the Nazarene in North Central Illinois and were married in November 2006.

Their call to missions grew out of years of Work and Witness trips at home and abroad, including teams they led to Antigua and the Dominican Republic. In 2018, their pastor asked them to oversee a new partnership between their church and missionaries in the Dominican Republic. They said yes without any sense of where it would lead, but as the partnership grew, so did a desire they hadn't expected, and they realized God was calling them into missions full-time.

In May 2021, Sam and Kristi moved to the Dominican Republic with their four kids: Tyler, Madilyn, Owen, and Edith. A fifth, Elsie, was born there in August 2022. They served in the Dominican Republic until August 2023, when they were called to serve in the USA/Canada Region.

Today the Senicas are based in Oklahoma City. Kristi serves as the Missions Mobilization Coordinator for USA/Canada, and Sam serves as the Regional Personnel Coordinator. Together they lead the Cause in their region, a global missions initiative raising up missional leaders for the cause of the King and the cause of the Kingdom. They love supporting and resourcing churches, pastors, and district superintendents across the region as we all live out the call to go and make disciples.
