Reaching the Queretaro community with the Word of God

Joarib and I received a call from God to serve the local church in Mexico. To fulfill our mission in the Mexican culture, we requested in 2019 the support of Global One80 to sustain their full-time ministry.

As a family, we have served for the past four years at Iglesia Cristiana Monte de los Olivos in the State of Morelos, developing our ministry in different areas such as: worship leading, Bible preaching, home Bible studies, and pastoring teenagers. Recently, we decided to move to Queretaro to work as pastors in the Evangelical Reformed Church ReNacer. This is a church of professionals that is relatively young and small and still needs to train leaders and organize each of its areas.

Querétaro is a city located in the lower region of Mexico, which is in full development and is at the forefront in all aspects, especially in the economy. It is a city that hosts families from many parts of Mexico and even the world as it is considered an attractive city with a great business future. This also makes it a powerhouse for expanding the gospel and founding new Bible churches in the region.

Like the apostle Paul, his focus was to preach in the metropolitan cities. We are convinced that in Queretaro, the city, people have a need to know God. Our goal is to establish a multicultural church that models Christ and has an impact on the modern world.

Emerging Leaders

Acts 17:23

“For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.”
