About My Family
My wife and I are both products of church planting back in the Philippines. I am a preacher's kid, and my father planted churches, so I grew up doing church planting.
My wife got saved, baptized, and discipled by an American missionary church planter. And here we are doing what we love and what the Lord has called us to do—training our children to love the ministry their parents grew up doing.
My oldest son, Adriel, is 25 and has special needs, but is very helpful in our ministry. Our youngest son, Gabriel, is a senior in high school; he is my media, music person. He is multi-gifted.
My wife leads our worship ministry. We are a family on mission!

About My Church Plant
Our ministry is situated in Lomita, Calif., in the South Bay area. Lomita is a small city south of Los Angeles that has a population of just over 20,000, but is close to larger connecting cities like Torrance and Carson, with a combined population of 257,000 with a larger Filipino presence in those three areas. Our focus people group are Filipinos, but we are heading toward multi-ethnic as we see more and more other ethnicities coming to and joining our church.
Our focus is twofold: small groups and corporate worship. We believe that we grow small and larger at the same time—smaller every week through small groups and larger during our celebration services.

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.
