About My Family

I’m married to Celeste. We have a daughter together, Gabriela Lucia. I was born and raised in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, and Celeste is from Venezuela. We met at university, have been married since 2023, and are excited to be church planting in my home province!

About My Church Plant

I work with Mile One Mission, the church planting ministry of our local sending church, Calvary Baptist. Mile One has planted/revitalized three churches so far with a goal of planting 14 more over the next decade in various neighbourhoods and communities across our city, island and province as a whole.

I’m the planter of church plant #4, Rabbittown Community Church in the neighbourhood of Rabbittown, a community in the centre-city of our capital. Our mission is “Restoring Our Neighbourhood with the Good News of Jesus.”

There are various challenges to Rabbittown, such as increased crime and drug use, leading many generational families choosing to leave. However, there has been an influx of immigrant families and international university students which has helped the community. We want to be a church who reaches all of these people!

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 new friendships with the people of Rabbittown. Pray for wisdom and boldness for engaging the nearby university campus. Pray God will rescue people from sin and build His church in our neighbourhood.
