Youth Pastors Alejandro, or Alex as many people call him, and Jessica were both born in Puerto Rico. From there, the Lord took Pastor Alex to the Dominican Republic in 1991 while Pastor Jessica went to Florida, United States in 1998. At the age of 17, Pastor Alex had an encounter with God during a difficult season that would change his life forever and would empower him to walk in his God-given purpose. He uses his life as an example of what it means to believe in God through your processes and to show the redemptive nature of God. Pastor Jessica is the youngest daughter of parents that were Pastors. Having been born and brought up in church she quickly understood the importance of empowering the next generation to walk in their purpose with identity. After holding several leadership roles in different churches and having been filled with desire to be equipped and show herself approved, she fulfilled a bachelor's degree in Theological Studies and is actively pursuing a diploma in Effective Leadership.
It is their desire that the youth experience God's love, acceptance and identity through them and to empower the youth to walk in their calling. They married in 2015 and joined Senda Church in January 2019 and were formerly ordained, together, as Pastors in the Youth Ministry in October of 2019. They lead by the motto "We are better, together" as shown in Ecclesiastes 4:9-12.
