Doctrine and Beliefs
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, … (2 Timothy 3:16)
I hold the first five articles of the Baptist Faith and Message (1963) as a foundational doctrinal statement.
Testimony
I was born in Cusco, Peru, into a Christian home. The Lord opened my eyes to the gospel when I was seven years old. Since I was 18, God allowed me to go on mission trips, primarily as a translator while studying business administration. Thanks to these trips, I was able to see the Church in different parts of Peru, on the coast, in the highlands, and in the jungle. One of the things I noticed on multiple trips was the need for theological training in small churches. I felt the desire to do something about the need for theological training in Peru, so I prepared for it.
From 2015 to 2019, the Lord provided me with the opportunity to travel to the United States to study theology at Beeson Divinity School, where I completed a Master of Theological Studies degree. From 2020 to 2023, God allowed me to study at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, where I earned a Master of Divinity degree. Later, in 2023 and 2024, I had the opportunity to live in Israel studying Hebrew. In 2023, I began a doctorate in missions and evangelism at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. On October 7, 2023, the war in Israel began. Although I desired to stay there for a while, my plans changed. After taking some time to pray and meditate, I returned to Peru in 2025.
In Peru, I began implementing a pastoral apprenticeship program for churches with limited theological and economic resources. My desire is to help build healthy churches that can reach their communities with the gospel.
In 2025, I returned to Peru to support churches through a leadership program.
The program I currently work on consists of three stages. In the first stage, we study the epistles of Romans and Ephesians. This is an opportunity for trainees to learn how to develop a sermon and learn the foundations of the gospel, as well as a new life in Christ. In the second stage, trainees will learn to preach from various types of biblical books and will also engage in debates on different theological positions. And finally, in the third stage, trainees will learn about church administration. For more information, go to the Ministry.
