About My Family

My wife and I were born and raised in the Philippines. We came to Canada with three teenage kids in 2008. I have been engaged in church kingdom ministry since 1984. We got our theological training at the Philippine Baptist Seminary in Baguio, Philippines. Now, all of our children are married, and we have seven grandchildren. All of them are involved in the church ministry.

My wife passed away in 2021. By God’s grace, I continue to serve the Lord as He called me.

About My Church Plant

Over the years, I have been involved in church planting and replanting churches. We started our church in Calgary in 2009 after we landed here in 2008. Now, I am looking at church planting with Send Network at Northwest Calgary within the new communities. I envision discipling new believers and raising them to become disciple-makers themselves. We are establishing Discovery Bible Study house groups for community and fellowship with our banner, “A Life Connection for Transformation.”

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.

Pray

Pray for my family as we work together in ministry. Pray the church will be established and will faithfully work to plant in other communities, too. Pray that the Lord will bring leaders who can help within the church. Pray for stamina and longevity for ministry amidst attacks from the enemy.

Participate

Build relationships with a church planter, team members, and their families. Send notes of encouragement. Learn birthdays and anniversaries, so you can send gifts and cards.
Learn the church plant, its strategy and context, so you can provide relevant resources. Support a church planter financially.
