I had the privilege of hearing the Gospel growing up in church and in a Christian home.   I remember hearing the Gospel understanding that I was a sinner and that the consequence of sin was Hell. On July 4, 1999, I made the decision to repent of my sin and trust Christ as my Saviour. Since that day, my life has been changed. I was baptized the following week and have been a member of Capitol City Baptist Church since then.

The following year at our annual Missions Conference, the Lord began to burden my heart for the mission field. I met missionaries; I saw the slide shows and heard many sermons on missions. That year I surrendered to be a missionary wherever the Lord wanted me to go. I made several mission’s trips to Mexico with Missionary Matt Johnson. I began to immerse myself in Spanish culture and I began to learn the language. Then in 2017, God began to burden my heart for Ecuador. God placed several people in my path to highlight Ecuador. I also learned there were few missionaries in the entire country. I made my first trip to Ecuador in January 2018. My Pastor and I, along with a group of men from our church spent almost two weeks surveying the country and visiting several cities. We met a few missionaries, but I found that sadly many places had no Bible-preaching church. The Lord used this trip to confirm in my heart that Ecuador was where he was leading my wife and I to serve Him.
