I was born in Paraguay and moved to Canada as a teenager. I am a preacher’s kid and attended church as a child and teenager, but I turned away from God in my early twenties. 

I lived a selfish and careless life. I searched for the meaning and purpose of life in all the wrong places and filled my life with all the stuff/things the world has to offer. My life was empty and I had no peace.

 

After many failures, disappointments and frustrations with addictions, I recognized that I needed Jesus and I accepted His grace and forgiveness at the age of 34. I “confessed /admitted my sins” (1 John 1:9) and God is faithful and can ALWAYS be trusted to forgive ALL our sins/wrongdoings.

​

From that day on “it is no longer I who lives, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). I now have peace, joy, hope and purpose for my life.

 

In 1996, I moved back to Paraguay to attend bible school and serve as chaplain at a Christian missionary school and as a youth leader in my local church. I moved back to Canada in January 2007 and started serving at King Road church in February as youth pastor.

 

I am passionate about people & young people, and my highlights are meeting people for coffee, celebrating baptism, preparing & going on our annual mission’s trip, youth retreats, TREK camp, attending equipping conferences with our youth leaders. 

​

I married Ester in December 1996 and God blessed us with two children; Brian & Jeremy. In my free time, I love to play golf, BBQ, watch some NFL football, and hang out around Abbotsford.
