Carmen Salacsacan
Carmen is from Manila, Philippines, and worked with CGM where she was administrative assistant to both Doug Nichols and Nelson Reed. She started working with ACTION as a full-time staff member in 1990. In 1993, she went to Brazil for a short-term mission trip. She applied as an ACTION missionary in 1994 and was accepted in 1995.
The years 1996 and 1997 were spent in support raising and training, and language school followed in 1998. She then moved to Cuernavaca, Morelos, México in 1999 to do community development work. After coming back from furlough in July 2000, she was involved with the women’s fellowship and children’s ministry of The Blood of Christ Has Power Christian Church in Colonia Unidad Morelos. She taught Sunday school, had a literacy program, and conducted discipleship classes.
In October 2002, she moved to México City and was involved with Missionary Baptist Church. With the help of the church, she began a ministry to women and children in Cuautitlan where she taught children four to twelve years of age and did discipleship, literacy, tutoring, and ministry to children at risk. With the help of a missionary couple, a church was started in the area. After returning from her second furlough in late 2008, she moved to Texcoco and ministered to children and led women's Bible studies and discipled women.
Carmen spent 2013-2018 in the Philippines to help take care of her mother. During this time, she also volunteered at Shalom Christian Birthing Home in Antipolo City, one of the ministries of ACTION in the Philippines, and helped a church planting project in Novaliches, Quezon City doing Bible studies and discipleship.
In 2019, Carmen returned to Mexico to minister again.
