About Us

VISION
Following Jesus as a fisher of men while teaching others to do the same. - Matthew 4:19

MISSION
Partnering with the local church to equip God’s people for life changing evangelism and discipleship; And building relational bridges throughout the body of Christ, so that our unity helps the world to believe the Father has sent His Son. This happens as God’s Spirit leads us in making Jesus known, loved and obeyed.

Serving the Local church

As an evangelist, I partner with pastors, local churches and ministries to embrace the full Gospel. As we yield to Christ, the Holy Spirit transforms us and gives us a passion to reach the lost. Then, we go in His power, love and truth to reach communities with the Good News of Jesus!

Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? SHow us your unfailing love, Lord, and grant us your salvation. "
- Psalm 85:6 - 7 (NIV)

Cultivating Hispanic ministries & partnerships

Greg hosts Pastor Thelma from Nicaragua.

Blessed to be a blessing expresses God’s desire for humanity. Our Hispanic brothers and sisters have come to this country seeking economic blessing; and we get to share with them the greatest blessing . . . the love of God in Christ.
I partner with local churches to develop and launch Hispanic ministries within congregations. I also partner with churches to create short term mission programs overseas and create partnerships

between the church in the United States and the church in Latin America.  The mutual blessings that come from such efforts are phenomenal.
One of the greatest joys in being with our amigos from Latin America is experiencing how the Good News of Jesus transcends peoples, cultures, nationalities, languages and geography!
When a young man from Chiapas, Mexico with dark skin and Mayan facial features trusts in Jesus to rescue him from his sins, new life comes just as it happens with all who trust in Christ!  If we would see God’s sovereignty in the people movements around the planet, then the church would mobilize offering them Christ in word and action.

Greg helped lead a pastors conference for the 24 Methodist churches in the Ciego de Ávila District, Cuba.

BUT OUR CITIZENSHIP IS IN HEAVEN. AND WE EAGERLY AWAIT A SAVIOR FROM THERE, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. ”
- philippians 3:20

“Porque nuestra ciudadanía está en los cielos, de donde también esperamos ardientemente al Salvador, el Señor Jesucristo. ”
- Filipenses 3:20
