I was born in Colombia and raised in Miami, FL. I came to know Christ and His church early in college when I became heavily involved with Catholic Campus Ministry at the University of Central Florida. During my time at Catholic Campus Ministry, having been part of a men’s community, I experienced and witnessed the impact that growing in faith and relationship with other men can have in developing a man’s identity as a Christ-like man and the effect it has on our society. For this reason, I am excited to share my personal experiences and formation with all I meet on mission – walking with them one step at a time.
Favorite Saint: St. Joseph
Favorite Scripture Verse: Luke 5:3-4

I am serving with a team of young adult mission leaders to run a mission trip in Fort Myers, FL. We have a group of high school teenage boys coming down from the Boston area to respond to the needs of families experiencing devastation post Hurricane Ian. We are going to be hanging sheet rock for several families, listening to their stories, and praying with them as we help the teens put their faith into action and grow their relationship with Christ and the Church.
Beyond the great physical work of rebuilding, our mission teams will run retreats for our mission group, opening up the door for the Holy Spirit to work in the hearts of those who serve with us. We start each day with Mass, give formational reflections in the evening, facilitate small group discussions, and bring the groups to adore Jesus Blessed Sacrament and to receive His mercy in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Wow! It is such an impactful week for the community we serve, the groups who come to serve with us, for us as mission leaders, and you as mission partners.
Our expected work project expenses for 2023 total approximately $100,000. Please give to the mission to support the work projects. I am excited to share with you my journey with God as a missionary and invite you to become one of my mission partners. Everything that we have is from God and everything that we give is from God. Where is God asking you to invest? Please consider joining me on mission by making a one-time or recurring donation to support the work of Catholic Mission Trips, Inc. Your prayers and financial support will bring hope and restore dignity to the families we serve. We would be honored to have you partner with us at $50-$200 a month. I look forward to connecting with you and experiencing mission together! Thank you for joining my support team!
