I was born and raised in the Philippines. I emigrated to the United States of America in 1992 via immigration petition by my father, who served the US Army in World War II. I’m married to Mary Lopez and we have three children, Hannah, Nicolas Ivan and Alyssa.
I spent the first thirty-two years of my life as a Catholic. Although, I had heard the Gospel several times from cousins at an early age, from friends and my wife at a later age, and had responded to it several times, I did not have a genuine personal and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ until the night of May 31, 2004. Before I went to bed that night, I realized that I could not save myself from my sin and that I was in need of a Savior who would deliver me from it. I pleaded to God that night to pour out His grace upon me and the following morning everything was just bright; a brand new life was awaiting ahead of me that very first day of having Christ in my life.
I had a vision two years after that special day in the form of a dream in which I was preaching the Gospel in my own Tagalog language to old women in a church in Aurora, CO.
New Life Community Church in Aurora has fulfilled that vision in the work that has been entrusted to me by the Lord. New Life Community Church has graciously opened their doors for the Filipino people to meet and have a Bible study in their building. They have also adopted us as their own ministry.
After conducting Bible studies for three years in this church, our group finally launched our Sunday Services on May 19, 2014. I’m currently pastoring Revival Community Fellowship (formerly Filipino-American Christian Fellowship) ministry here at New Life. I’m also a full-time employee of the State of Colorado.
The Gateway Curriculum has been a great blessing to me because it allows for people like me to continue to be equipped and be taught of the Word of God as I, in turn, pass it on to my fellow countrymen.
I am fully convinced that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6).
Nothing in my own merit has brought me here except the merits of Christ Jesus my Lord. To Him be the glory now and forever more! #twentyyears
To reach the community by proclaiming the truths of God’s Word and establish a relationship that is intentional, and to go and make disciples of all nations, as Jesus commanded us in Matthew 28:19-20.
