Julio & Emily Peña

In Christian ministry since 2008 and 2009, we are passionate about discipleship, answering Jesus’ Great Commission call to “go and make disciples of every nation… teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20).

This is what Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 3:18: “And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.”
