About Xavier

I was born into a rough home life; neither of my parents had a strong faith or any faith at all in Jesus. Growing up was very hard for me due to my father and how angry he was. During that time, I moved in with my grandparents, and they began to show me love and talk about Jesus with me. It wasn't until 10, though, that I actually accepted the gospel. I was a camper at the Word of Life Ranch, where the gospel was presented. During that presentation, I realized that I am a sinner I need saving, and that Jesus loved me so much that He came to save me by dying on the cross, being buried, and coming back to life. It was there that I first believed the Gospel and from there declared that I was going to be a missionary and be a light to the world for Jesus.

Through my years in high school, I went on a mission trip to Kenya, where I really saw people in need and their need for the gospel. From then on, I began traveling to different places, and on one trip, God was able to grab my heart. I was on a train in Japan, and I saw a school, and I thought, "Man, that would be cool to live here in Japan". It was then that God began to stir my heart for the Japanese people, and was really challenging me, "Why don't you do that then and teach about Me"? It wasn't until my time at Word of Life Bible Institute that I began to actually see being a missionary as an option and a calling in my life. During my time there, I fell in love with God's word and a special desire to teach it, while still having a heart to serve in Japan. While looking into what I wanted to do after my two years at the Bible Institute, I saw that there was an option to go to Japan, and upon hearing that I would also be able to teach there, I knew that God had opened to door for me to go.

The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; And let the God of my salvation be exalted. -Psalm 18:46
