About My Family
As a former Catholic, I would have said that I was a “strong Christian.” I occasionally thought about Jesus and periodically prayed a one-sided prayer. Fast forward to 2016, through God’s Word and a friend, I came to know the full gospel—two sides of one coin, faith and repentance.
Eventually, God would place before me a call into full-time ministry, accompanied with a burden for culture, discipleship, equipping and mobilization. This weight led me gobsmacked by Revelation 7:9, “After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands …” (ESV).

About My Church Plant
Above anything else, eternal separation between the Maker and the made burdens the evangelist’s heart. Of course, things like addiction, homelessness and prostitution, all things commonly found in Albuquerque, add to grief, but it’s the former that necessitates a need for workers in the harvest.
That being said, the spiritual darkness of this city is evident; it’s found with most conversations, with every glance and with every step. However, there is something beautiful about this syringe-strewn desert. It’s a spiritual thirst, a Light in the darkness, a humility that brings the lowly even lower.

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.
