About My Family

I am married to Elizabeth Castro. We have two children, Andre and Hannah. We recently moved to the city of Malakoff, Texas, to plant the First Baptist Church in Spanish in this city.

Our son, Andre, recently graduated from high school. His wish is now to continue studying graphic design while continuing to play soccer. Our daughter, Hannah, is in the 10th grade and dreams of being a film director.

About My Church Plant

In 2003, I was called to full-time ministry in my native country of Mexico. For 10 years, I served in my local church, performing various functions from youth leader, worship director and even organizing missions trips to some communities in the state of Baja California. Oaxaca and Sinaloa, and in my last stage in Mexico, I was assistant pastor in my church.

God allowed us to come to the state of Texas to continue with our ministerial preparation and at the same time voluntarily serving for seven years in our local church, Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas. In 2022, I began church planting residency through Send Network. Now I am starting together with my family, the first church in Spanish in the city of Malakoff with First Baptist Church Malakoff.

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 the cultural and religious barriers of the Hispanic community will not be an impediment for the gospel of Christ to be established in the city. Pray First Baptist Church Malakoff en Español will be a place where Hispanic people find hope, restoration and salvation through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Pray for protection and provision for this new challenge for my family and that God will use us to impact the lives of families in the community. Pray for stamina and longevity for ministry amidst attacks from the enemy.
