About My Family

My wife, Diana, and I were both born in Puerto Rico and were saved during our young adulthood. We have been happily married since 2011 and have two daughters, Anasofía and Mila. As a family, we enjoy talking, making jokes, as well as playing board games, and movie nights (especially superhero movies).

About My Church Plant

I have been serving as a pastor in Tampa since 2020. In 2023, with a strong sense of calling to establish a multicultural church to maintain generational unity in bilingual families (English and Spanish), I left my 17+ year career in the healthcare industry to attend the Pastors College in Louisville, Ky. Then, I returned to Florida to plant Vine Church Tampa.

The harvest is plentiful in the fast-growing area of New Tampa!

Many people are lost and need Christ. Population growth is expected to make the city younger and more urban with less religious background. There is a strong need for evangelism.

Worldly ideologies have led to broken individuals, families and communities, showing their need for redemption and an understanding of God’s design for Christ-centered man and woman, singleness, marriage and parenting.

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 boldness to share the gospel and open hearts among the people to whom we speak. Pray that through this ministry, more people would come to saving faith and live on mission. Pray for stamina and longevity for ministry amidst attacks from the enemy.

Participate

Build relationships with missionaries and their families. Send notes of encouragement. Learn birthdays and anniversaries, so you can send gifts and cards.
Learn the ministry strategy and context, so you can provide relevant resources. Support a missionary financially.
