Summary

Seventh-day Adventist pastor with more than 9 years of international ministry experience serving in North, Central, and South America, as well as the Middle East and Europe. I am passionate about sharing the gospel through preaching, youth ministry, evangelism, and teaching. My journey has combined theological training with hands-on pastoral work, always seeking to make faith practical and meaningful. I value discipleship, mission, and creating authentic connections in multicultural settings where people can grow closer to Christ together.
