Después de conocer a Jesús y tener un maravilloso encuentro de salvación que transformo mi vida radicalmente hace 33 años, hice la decisión que hasta hoy permanece en mí, mi esposa y nuestros dos hijos: “Mi casa y yo serviremos al Señor”

Después de asistir a Monmouth Worship Center por algunos años, di testimonio de ser un creyente comprometido y de obedecer la palabra de Dios.  Fui dirigido por el Espíritu Santo a tomar el puesto de líder en el ministerio Latino. Nací en El Salvador y pase mi juventud en los caminos del Señor antes de trasladarme a New Jersey. Mi esposa Magdalena y nuestros hijos, Jazón y Raymond, sirven ahora  conmigo en este ministerio.

Tengo la firme convicción que mi llamado es para difundir el mensaje de Dios y llegar a un gran número de almas con quien me encantaría compartir todas las bendiciones de Dios.
