About Standing In The Gap
Missionaries to the Navajo People
I was raised in Many Farms, Arizona, and accepted Christ as my Savior at the age of 25. Two years later, I surrendered to the Lord’s call to preach and went on to serve as a Sunday school teacher at New Hope Baptist Church in Chinle, Arizona.
In 2019, I accepted the pastorate at Calvary Baptist Church. I currently reside in Cornfields, Arizona, with my wife, Tanya, and our three children—two daughters and a son. My educational journey includes graduating from Penn Foster High School and earning a Bachelor of Theology from Gloryland Bible Institute in 2019. I later earned my Master of Theology in 2021 and a Doctor of Theology in 2022 from Charity Baptist Bible Institute.
In 2025, the Lord laid a heavy burden on my heart to reach the people of the Navajo Reservation. This April 28, 2026, I officially surrendered to serve as a missionary to the Navajo people. My family and I are actively engaged in mission work across the Reservation, reaching out through tract distribution, door-knocking, and street preaching at local events like the Navajo Nation Parade.
The Navajo people need the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Bible tells us in Proverbs 29:18, “where there is no vision, the people perish.” We have a clear vision for our people: to reach the lost, establish a local church, and train young men to become the next generation of preachers.
