I was born in Catarman, Samar in the Philippines on September 3, 1942. I grew up from 3yrs old to my late teens in Dumaguete City, after which I joined the Philippine Air Force as an Aviation Cadet and graduated pilot officer in 1963. From that time on I lived in Metro Manila until the Lord called us to leave my country in 1996 to serve Him in the USA. By the grace of God, He saved me in 1981 and not long after, called into His service. I am married to the former Gina Andrews and we have four children scattered in three continents, none of whom is within driving distance from Reno.  Gina and I are very thankful to the Lord for calling us to Reno. I share the same grateful heart of Paul. "I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me faithful, appointing me to his service. Even though I was once a blasphemer and a big sinner, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. The grace of the Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus." 1 Timothy 1:12-14

We are now going on our tenth year as a church plant to reach Filipinos and Internationals in this community with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We were sent by our former churches in Warner Robins and Macon, Georgia, the Filipino American Christian Fellowship and supported by North American Missions Board of the Southern Baptist Convention.

It is our goal and mission to reach as many Filipinos and Internationals with the gospel of grace and make disciples of Jesus Christ till He comes.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me faithful, appointing me to his service.
​1 Timothy 12-14
