About My Family

I am from Colombia and by His grace, God rescued me when I was 18 years old in the church where He opened my eyes to the gospel of Christ. In that church in the beautiful city of Bucaramanga, I also met and married Angie.

Angie and I have been married for 10 years, and we have three children: Isa (20), Gaby (18) and Emanuel (8).

About My Church Plant

After studying for four years at Rio Grande Bible Seminary in Edinburg, Texas, God called me to the city of Tallahassee, Fla., where in 2019 He gave me the privilege of planting a Spanish ministry under the leadership of Celebration Baptist Church. Currently, Celebration Baptist Church in Spanish has experienced God-given growth, and we are excited to become a part of Send Network in Spanish to develop the residency program and be focused on advancing the gospel through church planting across the Florida Panhandle.

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 that God will raise up more workers, and pray that we can equip future pastors with sound doctrine and conduct so we can plant healthy churches that multiply.
