When I surrendered my life to Christ back in 2009, I never would have imagined it would one day lead me to Puerto Rico.
If you walked into the room in Brooklyn, NY, you never would have pointed your finger and said, “yup, that’s the guy, send him”. There are many reasons why I shouldn’t be “that guy,” starting with the fact that I didn’t speak Spanish! But hey, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, right? Absolutely!
Having been on several missions trips to Puerto Rico, the calling became clear. To reach and serve the people in Puerto Rico affected by addiction. From the addict on the street to the person in recovery, their family, and friends.
The gap that we must fill is vast due to the lack of resources. Just trying to get to a detox clinic if you want to get clean can be a daunting task. However, in Christ Jesus, my beautiful wife Wanda and I pledge to stand in the gap.
In addition to learning Spanish (Si es verdad, ahora puedo hablar español, pero todavía necesito aprender mucho más). We have started to connect with other ministries, detoxes, group homes, churches, Politicians, and organizations that serve people affected by addiction to better understand the needs and how we can assist.
We wish to acquire a building in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, to offer a food pantry, 12-step meetings, workshops, vocational classes, employment readiness programs, bible studies, etc. Also, we wish to acquire a van to conduct street outreach and transport those needing detox and or sober living, etc.
I have written and published a book called: “90 in 90 A 90-Day Daily Devotional for Christians in Recovery” to help raise support for the ministry.
We are currently 14% funded and praying to be fully funded soon. Please help us pray that more people decide to join us in this venture.
God bless you,
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

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.
