• Education: I graduated from the Hispanic Baptist Theological Seminary in San Antonio, Texas. Have had meaningful courses from Howard Payne University’s extencion in Corpus Christi, Texas.
• Experience: Started to preach in 1994
• Family: I am married to Rebeca Alvarez and have 4 children.
• Best advice given to me about preaching: Be real and believe and live what I preach. Don't seek to be a copy of someone else, instead by yourself in the power of the Holy Spirit.
• Something funny that happened while preaching: I was preaching in my first church as pastor, a small country church in San Diego, Texas. That Sunday morning I woke up with allergies. I forgot to take cleanex to wipe of my runny nose. Half down the sermon I had to hurry up and close my message... my nose was running, I mean running slimmy and greenish. I said "Lets close our eyes and pray." Before starting to pray, I immediately took cover in the pulpit and usted my hand to wipe it off. One kid, as usual, who was with his eyes open saw the whole ordeal. He was even bumping the others’ shoulders to later laugh at the bubbles I was making.
