Desarrollando Lideres para la Gloria de Dios. Dios me ha llamado al desarrollo de lideres y de ministerios. La iglesia de Jesucristo esta siendo llamada a servirle! Para cumplir esta tarea, cada creyente tiene la responsabilidad de ser perfeccionado para alabanza de Dios. El desarrollo de lideres requiere un compromiso constante aun mayor que el que existente en un proceso de discipulado. Mi deseo es que este blog te ayude en ese proceso, en tu crecimiento y en tu servicio a Dios.

God called me to train and develop better leaders and ministries to serve better the Church of Jesus Christ. The Church is called to serve and ministry this world that is in crisis. To accomplish this task, every believer has a responsibility to be perfected to the praise of God. Leadership development requires sustained commitment even greater than that existing in a process of discipleship. My hope is that this blog help you in this process, your growth and your service to God.


Mira que te mando que te esfuerces y seas valiente; no temas ni desmayes, porque Jehová tu Dios estará contigo dondequiera que vayas. Josue 1:9

My stories 1

I want to thank God because God has been good with me since my childhood. I knew JesusChrist when I was a child and I began to serve him since then. I had the blessing of coming to the United States to serve the Latino Community. Also, God gave me the blessing of being a missionary of Global Ministries and I am serving in the Rocky Mountain Conference as the Hispanic ministry Coordinator since July 1, 2015.

The experience of being sick and hopeless in my childhood, at the end, it brought God's blessings for me and my family. After the miracle of healing that God performed in my life, my family and I started attending to San Pablo Methodist Church of Mexico in Piedras Negras Coahuila. Since then, I had and encounter with Jesus Christ and learned to serve God. God called me to the ministry, and after a while with some conflicts, I went to John Wesley Seminary to prepare to serve God. I graduated in 1992 and was ordained in the Eastern Annual Conference of the Methodist Church of Mexico in 1995. In 2004, God brought me to the United States to serve Him on this land. Since then, I have served him in the United Methodist Church.

After a time serving in Dallas TX, God brought me to Nebraska where my life was completely transformed. Nebraska Annual Conference and Bishop Ann Sherer received me as Elder in full connection in 2011 and I was appointed to the Hispanic ministry of Lexington NE. In 2014 I got my Master of Divinity at Iliff School of Theology in Denver Colorado. At that time, I had the opportunity to meet wonderful people from the Rocky Mountain Conference. I met some leaders of the Conference and the vast majority of the pastors of the Hispanic ministry. Also, I had the opportunity to give them any trainings and I was a teacher at the Licensing School in 2014 offered by the Rocky Mountain Conference. In that summer I was invited to apply for the position of Coordinator of Hispanic Ministries Rocky Mountain. In that time, they told me that I was to be a missionary of Global Ministry to take the new position.  So, a month later, I was applying to be a missionary of Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church and I accept that offer.

This decision to be a missionary of Global Ministries has been one of the most important decisions in my life, because that leads me to be part of an extraordinary ministry that share the gospel around the world in many ways. In April 2015 I had my training to be a missionary of Global Ministries in Nashville TN, and I was blessed to meet wonderful people. I would like to mention all these people that I met at Nashville TN but I have the risk to forget any of them. I had great teachers and wonderful classmates and partners of ministry. In honor of all of them, I chose this picture. Since July 2015 I have the blessing of being the Hispanic Ministries Coordinator of the Rocky Mountain Conference of the United Methodist Church. I thank God for all His blessings.
