We are a team of Christian missionaries, brought together by our love for God and a desire to serve those in need. We come from various backgrounds, some of us immigrating from countries like Brazil and Mexico to live in places like the USA, Netherlands, Russia, and Ukraine. Our journeys have exposed us to diverse cultures, climates, and ideologies.
Through Bible schools, missionary organizations, and volunteer work, we've all experienced a profound calling to serve as pastors. We are dedicated to helping those who are injured, sick, rejected, depressed, or abandoned, offering them the love, attention, psychological and social support they need.

Gabriel Alfonso Becerril Aragon | Secretary
Gabriel Aragon, originally from Mexico, has a rich background that spans multiple countries and cultures. As a young man, he went to Moscow, Russia, for higher studies, which continued in Ukraine, where he accomplished a PhD in radiation biology. There,
he was born again and became an active member of a church. Working for a travel agency focused on Hungary, he spent a few years in Budapest. One of the countries that he visited several times was the Netherlands. Then an opportunity appeared to do a specialization
in his profession at the Free University of Amsterdam, and after finishing it, he decided to remain in this country. Nine years ago, Gabriel obtained the Dutch nationality. In such a way, God has allowed Gabriel to become a qualified individual to provide
translation services for pastoral care. His extensive experience and multilingual abilities— fluent in Spanish, English, Russian, Ukrainian, Dutch, and independent user of French and Hungarian— make him an asset to our team.
