Church Planting resident

Jonathan was born in Perú and grew up in Chile and Panamá before moving to Chicago to attend Wheaton College, where he studied spiritual formation and later intercultural studies. His grandparents had previously attended Wheaton alongside Jim and Elizabeth Elliot and were part of that same generation committed to global mission in Latin America.

After college, Jonathan spent 13 years planting, pastoring, and supporting Latino immigrant churches in Chicago and across the country. He moved to Texas in 2021 and launched the Diaspora Network in 2022. He is ordained and serves within the Churches for the Sake of Others (C4SO) network.

Jonathan speaks Spanish, Portuguese, and some Arabic. He and his wife, Lini, have just moved back to Houston and are passionate about mission, justice, and God’s beautifully diverse global family.
