Calling<br />

Jonathan is married to Myrna. They have two boys, Peniel and Jonatán.<br />

He became a follower of Christ when he was 16 years old. Since then<br />

he began to serve, working on different church ministries, with a<br />

special passion for evangelism.<br />

They planted a church in the South side of Puerto Rico in 2008. After 4<br />

years the Lord transitioned them to a ministry dedicated to<br />

strengthening the leadership of the church in the island. After working<br />

planting, and so they began<br />

to pray for God’s will.<br />

The Lord connected them<br />

with Red 1:8, a Hispanic<br />

church planting ministry<br />

based in Oklahoma City.<br />

They learned about the<br />

growing Hispanic population<br />

and the lack of gospel<br />

centered churches for this<br />

group in the city of Colorado<br />

Springs. After doing a trip to the city, they felt the Lord calling them to<br />

partner with Garden Ranch Baptist Church, which had been praying for<br />

a Hispanic ministry in their area for 5 year because of the growing<br />

Hispanic population.<br />

Jonathan and his family moved from Puerto Rico to Colorado Springs<br />

in June of 2015. Since then they have begun to engage the Hispanic<br />

community. Every day the Lord has confirmed their calling and passion<br />

for these beautiful and diverse people groups.
