Ricardo was born in Ensenada and has been a pastor for 14 years. Before his call to ministry, he lived a life of drug abuse until he encountered Christ while trying to commit suicide. Since that miraculous moment, he decided to give his life in service to the Lord. Today, Ricardo is the pastor at Foursquare Church of Mexico and has been involved in the mission field teaching and providing Bible studies to pastors and lay people in the church throughout Mexico, Central America and South America. Ricardo considers himself a missionary pastor and an evangelist, fulfilling his call to “go and preach the Gospel to all the nations.” He has been involved with Rancho el Refugio for the past ten years. His wife Erika serves alongside him with his ministry.
