We are so grateful to have you in our life and excited to share what God is doing now!  Ten years ago, we left our home and job to come live in the inner city of South Central Los Angeles as missionaries with World Impact. This happened because of partners like you and we are so grateful for all the prayers, financial support, encouragement, and great friendships that have been a part of our journey!

When we started, we had two small children not even in preschool yet and now Rebecca is in going to High School, Justice is entering 7^th grade and our youngest is entering Kindergarten. We came to Los Angeles as missionaries to plant churches, to evangelize the lost and train up leaders… and that is what we have done by God's grace. We've started a church from simply engaging with our community and sharing the beautiful story of Jesus with people - letting them know there is hope from their pain and despair. Our ministry has been changing over the last few years as World Impact focuses more on empowering urban leaders – so while we continue to be on the ground, pastoring and involved in the community we are doing a lot more training, equipping and empowering of other church leaders helping them be successful in ministry and life.

As we look forward to what God will do in the coming years, we’re excited that we are able to take a trip to Oregon and the Bay Area to strengthen our support team, reconnect with many of our faithful partners, form new friendships as well get some rest. 

This will be our first time back ‘home’ in four years (and only 2^nd trip in 10 years!) We are excited to spend some time visiting with as many friends and catch up and share about what God is doing in Los Angeles. If you will be in Oregon between June 21-July11 or in the Bay Area from July 12-July 15 and would like to connect please let us know!

Our goal for this trip is to raise $1,200/month in new or increased support. This would allow us to be fully funded and be able to focus 100% of our energies on the mission!

We’ll then return home ready to minister again in all that God has called us to do with World Impact in Los Angeles, which we believe is plant more churches, invite many more people to know Jesus and continually train and mentor more leaders. In fact, upon our return we will run 2 church planting schools, 2 workshops helping churches receive ex-prisoners, officiate 2 Quinceañeras, travel to Wichita for a church planter catalyst training and record a church planting workshop video in Spanish that will be used all over the US and world to train new church planters (along with all the other 'normal' stuff)…all before starting our kids back into school.

To make this trip possible to raise support to get fully funded we need to raise special gifts to cover the cost of the trip. We're projecting the cost to be about $1/mile (for gas, food and other expenses for our 4-week trip). We’ll be logging nearly 5,000 miles for our trip this summer… Would you consider “BUYING-SOME-MILES" to help fund a portion of this trip? We're hoping to get all the funds in before we leave in the middle of June, so if you can respond by then that would be great...

            A gift of $50 would cover 50 miles, $100 would cover 100 miles, etc.

            A gift of any amount will be appreciated and help keep us moving forward in ministry… J

Thanks for your partnership with us in ministry!  We are looking forward to this next season of ministry, and this trip will help launch us forward into God's plans for us. Please be praying for our safety and that our time away from the city would be fruitful and provide a little rest and renewed vision as well.

UPDATE (Review)

We are celebrating 10 years as missionaries to the hardened streets of South Central Los Angeles.

While we have been in Los Angeles we have:

Planted and continue to pastor a church amongst the poor, specifically Spanish-speaking immigrants (the church’s name is “Fuente”).

We have baptized over 50 people.

 We have put on over 50 camps or retreats involving 1000s of individuals.

Missions and Church planting is a priority. We empower and train leaders so that together we can reach more people for Jesus transforming communities, people groups and nations. Since we started the church, we have faithfully given 20% of our budget to missions and church planting, regardless of our own need. 

Run programs such as a job training & leadership development internships - of which we have trained 18 interns in ministry or job-related skills.

Organized and taught at 4 church planting schools. Which had teams from numerous countries, states and cities represented.

Coached 9 other pastors and leaders (and their teams) in helping them establish a new church or ministry.

Help lead/run 2 Urban Church Association’s (monthly meetings and regular connection for fellowship, resourcing and training for pastors).

Taught at Los Angeles Christian School, a mission-focused school giving a Christian education to children K-8 in the community.
