About My Family
I gave my life to Christ at the age of 8. Heeding God’s call to serve Him, I entered the Ebenezer Bible Institute (EBI) in Venezuela at the age of 16 to prepare. I graduated from there in pastoral ministry (Ecclesiastical Orientation). Later, I earned a theology degree from the Peña de Horeb National Educational Biblical Institute and a Master of Theology degree from the Libertador Experimental Pedagogical University.
I am married to Maria. We have two children—Magdiel and Romer David—and six grandchildren ranging in age from 3 to 14.
I have worked in several ministries: missions, home for orphaned children, Christian camps, pastoral and high-school counselor.
Maria received salvation through faith in Christ at age 6. She also studied at the IBE. She graduated with a degree in Christian education and also in theology.

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.
