About My Family

I’m married to Janette García, and we have four children: Jorge (10), Marley (5), Abdiel (2), and Gael (1). God has called us to plant a church on the West Coast, so we moved from Tijuana to San Diego.

We love walking together to the park or the beach, but our favorite moments are sharing meals and laughter as a family. Our vision is to build a church that reflects Jesus’ love, serves our community, nurtures meaningful relationships, and equips people to grow spiritually. We warmly invite you to partner with us through prayer, encouragement, or practical support as we step boldly into this mission and seek to impact lives for God’s glory.

About My Church Plant

In our area of southeast San Diego, there are many Spanish speakers, yet the majority do not attend church and have not met Jesus personally. Witnessing this, our family feels called to plant a church that guides people to know Jesus, grow in Him, give their lives, and serve with joy. We envision a community where faith is lived, hope is shared, and God’s love shapes every relationship. Through shared meals, prayers, and daily acts of kindness, this church seeks to be a home where hearts are transformed, families flourish, and the presence of Christ is experienced in real life.

NAMB Church Planting

Millions living in North America have not been reached with the gospel. But a new church makes change possible in an unreached neighborhood.
Send Network church planters immerse themselves in a community, learning the rhythms and culture as they establish relationships with the lost. A church plant grows out of the evangelism efforts of the planter and his core team.

Pray

Pray for wisdom and balance as we manage our family life and ministry, so we can shepherd well both at home and in our church planting efforts. Pray for courage, creativity, and perseverance as we build new relationships and step out in faith to plant a thriving, Christ-centered community. Pray for open hearts in our community to encounter Christ’s love, grow spiritually, and be drawn into a meaningful relationship with Him.

Participate

Pray for us—for wisdom in balancing family and ministry, courage and creativity in building relationships, and open hearts to Christ. Encourage us—your words and friendship remind us we’re not alone. Support us financially—partners help sustain our family so we can fully devote ourselves to planting this new, vibrant faith community.
