Spanish culture is one of my big passions and I am privileged to be the pastor for two Spanish-speaking congregations in South Florida. My heart’s desire is to train young leaders, raising up the next generation of pastors, and planting churches to reach the growing Spanish-speaking population here. At Iglesia Familiar, our goal is reach Latinos for Christ and make disciples, one family at a time.
