Meet Our Full Time Missionaries
Serving with Bethel Campus Fellowship to advance the Gospel on campuses

Elijah Sanchez

Hi! I’m Elijah, and I serve with Bethel Campus Fellowship (BCF) primarily as the Retreat Center Property Manager and the Department Head of Alumni Link. I oversee the stewardship and development of our 23-acre Retreat Center, ensuring it remains a place where students and alumni can encounter God and be equipped for ministry. Through Alumni Link, I help cultivate community among our alumni and strengthen their connection with the next generation of students. My desire is to support the mission of leading students to Christ and seeing the Gospel heal communities.

My journey with the Lord began when I received God’s mercy for salvation on February 4th, 2018 at Jubilee Christian Church International MD. That same year, the Lord connected me to BCF through Bible studies at Howard University. Eventually I was led to serve as the Campus Mentor for BCF at Howard in 2023 following the Christ on Campus National Conference, and later to step into my current role as BCF Alumni Link Department Head in 2024. In October 2020, the Lord preserved my life through a life threatening fall from a 30-foot roof. I should be dead or crippled. BUT GOD restored my health, provided for every need, and used that season to deepen my love for Him and strengthen my commitment to serve others!

That passion for students also shaped my career. From 2018 to 2025, I served as a counselor at Bladensburg High School, supporting students through mentorship, academic guidance, and college and career readiness before transitioning into full-time ministry with BCF in August 2025.

Jesus has transformed my life, and I am exploding with excitement to be of help to the amazing BCFamily!

Somebody shout HALLELUJAH!!!

So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. ~ 2 Corinthians 9:7
