About My Family

I was 17 years old when I immigrated from México to the U.S.A. in 2000, looking for a better opportunity to fulfill the education that I wasn't able to complete in my homeland because lack of financial resources. I’ve always believed that “There’s no border that can set us apart from our dreams.”

In 2003, I received Christ as my only Savior. A few years later, I met my wife in Omaha and by 2005, we got married. In 2014, Sharling and I became parents for the first time and, in 2017, for a second time. The names of our two little girls are Julia and Frida.

In 2013, my wife and I started a Christian Spanish LifeGroup supported by Westside Church in Omaha, Neb. (W. Dodge Rd. Campus) called 11:28 Omaha. Since then, my wife and I have been ministering lives among the Hispanic Community of Omaha, Bellevue and Fremont.

About My Church Plant

In 2019, I was called to become a church planter in a local church called VENTURE en Español in Bellevue, Neb. I’m also involved in community advocacy work and leaned into helping the Hispanic Community of Nebraska to have a place and a voice in this great nation. Since then, I’ve been leading this Spanish congregation.

In the beginning of 2024, my family and I moved to Fremont, Neb., where my wife and I just started a Bible group.

NAMB Church Planting

Millions in North America are in desperate need of hope. Ultimately, the only hope that’s going to last - in this life and the next - is the hope of the gospel. North American missionaries build relationships and share this hope in their communities and beyond.

Pray

Pray for God’s provision in our lives. Pray for protection over us, especially over my two daughters who are still very young. Pray for the church plant in Bellevue and for whatever God would want us to do in Fremont. Pray for guidance and wisdom.
