L & J

Ministry Journey

Focus

L&J are a pastoral missionary family serving God in theological teaching, training new workers and mobilizing missions in order to raise up a generation that transforms lives and communities through an encounter with Jesus Christ, especially among the least reached.

L&J currently pastor a church in southern Chile where they also operate the Bible Institute and School of Missions, which has students from different denominations in the area.  Both are ministers of the Assemblies of God of Chile, licensed in Theology and active in theological teaching, missionary mobilization and training of new workers to go to the least-reached ethnic groups. Since 2020 they have been involved in holistic missionary care, visiting and ministering to Latino missionaries in their places of service.

Journey

L&J met in 2013 while J was visiting the church L pastored on his tour. After each faithfully serving God and despite the distance, they understood that He was uniting their paths and callings to fulfill His Mission wherever He leads them.  In January 2018 they married, and have been serving together in southern Chile ever since.

Upon meeting Jesus in her youth, L arranged her life to serve Him and worked side by side with his pastor in youth leadership. Such was the conviction of his calling that he became the senior pastor of the church in 2012.  Since then, the congregation has excelled in theological and missionary teaching. L was the Missions President of his denomination until 2021 and was in charge of standardizing the content of the course plans and restructuring the National School of Missions at the national level.

From college, J felt God’s call to go to the least-reached peoples.  This led her to serve in a restricted access country in Asia for 9 years, evangelize an ethnic group that had no testimony of Jesus, and train local leaders in human trafficking prevention. Today she is a mobilizer with Simply Mobilizing in Chile, the first accredited Lead Facilitator for her country, and a member of the New Nation Coordinating Team (NNCT) in Uruguay to help empower the missionary movement in both nations.

Each church is independent and autonomous and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; that, therefore, Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from the dictation or patronage of the other.

We believe that a visible church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, buried with Him in baptism and associated for worship, work and fellowship.

We believe that to these visible churches were committed for observance “until He comes,” the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper; and that God has laid upon these churches the task of persuading a lost world to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and to enthrone Him as Lord and Master. We believe that righteous living, good works and proper social concern are essential products of the gospel.

We believe, therefore, that those who accept Christ as their Lord and Savior will rejoice forever in God’s presence and those who refuse to accept Christ as Lord and Savior will be forever separated from God.
We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His high priestly intercession for His people and His personal, visible return to the world according to His promise.
