Ministry Description

My currently role within Word of Life revolves around videography. During camps I create videos that are designed to help the campers share the Gospel with their friends at home. During the rest of the year I create resources and content to help our ministry connect with local churches both here in Panamá and in the US. My works focus is about encouraging about the gospel through digital media.

Here in Panamá I have the privilege of leading both the youth group and worship band of a local english speaking church. Sundays I lead worship and during the week I am leading discipleship groups and organizing youth each Thursday.

About Alex

I was born and raised in a Christian household, both my parents loved Jesus and were constantly teaching me the gospel. There wasn't a time I remember when I didn't know of Jesus and what he did, but at the age of 5 I decided to put my faith in trust in him as my savior.
As I grew up I began to see how broken the world was without Christ. Every-day high school drama broke my heart as I saw my own class mates grasping for the kind of fulfillment I know only Christ Jesus can bring. Though I did not know it yet, God was preparing me for missions.
After High school I decided to study at the Word of Life Bible institute for 2 years. In my second year I took a missions trip to Panamá. Jon specifically approached me and asked me to join his team as a missionary intern for 2 years. Originally, I wasn't interested but as I prayed God placed my heart on the people of Panamá. As I served my 2 years in Panamá I finished by Bachelors of Biblical Studies through Lancaster Bible College. In those 2 years I saw the ministry grow in such an incredible way. After much prayer I felt God calling me to be a full-time missionary.
