About My Family
I am originally from Curacao, a Dutch island in the Caribbean near Venezuela. My wife, Noralyne, are conference speakers and marriage counselors. We have bachelor’s degrees from Rio Grande Bible Seminary and master’s degrees in counseling from Liberty University.
Currently, I am pursuing a doctorate, and Noralyne is pursuing another master’s degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
We have been married for 31 years and have three daughters and a grandson. As missionaries, we have lived in south Texas for 26 years, from where we have made multiple trips throughout Latin America and multiple trips to Mexico and Canada. Currently, I am the director of Caring for the Latino Heart Ministries known in Latin America as pastoring pastors.

About My Church Plant
The church has been planned in a community of Honduran immigrants who are eager to learn the Word of God. Most of them have never heard the gospel of Jesus. The church has been growing numerically and also spiritually slowly but firmly. The church started June 18, 2023, with eight people, and by Christmas we had almost 80 people in our service.
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.
