Anthony is a Texas A&M graduate who Laura and I worked
together with while in San Antonio. Once part-time staff with
Destino, he transition to full-time staff this past fall. Since he
made his transition, I have been coaching him once a week while he
works to build a team of financial ministry partners.
Anthony is spilling over with energy and motivation to see
Latinos on the college campus reached for Christ and sent out to
change the world. His vision and sincerity is contagious. While on
part-time staff at San Antonio, he was working to re-launch a
spiritual movement at his alma mater in College Station, TX.
From January 13th to 16th, along with three students from
A&M, Anthony attended Destino’s annual Winter Conference in San
Diego, CA. Here is what he shares about the weekend in San
Diego:
Destino Winter Conference was packed with wonderful speakers,
great seminars, and an impactful day of outreach, but what stood
out to me the most was the students’ eagerness and desire for God.
Thirty students from San Antonio signed up for a 20 hour road trip
to attend this conference in San Diego. There are many stories to
share but one of my favorite highlights was having 3 students from
Texas A&M come to the conference.
It was so awesome to see the Lord working in the lives of
students at A&M long after I’ve graduated. I met Brian last
semester and the work God has been doing in his life has been
extraordinary. It brought great joy in my heart to hear Brian share
this with us,
“As long as you have confidence and passion it makes it much
easier to tell others about Jesus. I'm going to use that at my
school when I go out and share the Gospel.”
He has a huge passion for the Lord and desire to see Destino
grow on his campus. I can’t wait to see how God continues to use
Brian at Texas A&M.
Here are some other highlights from the conference:
15 students decided to follow Jesus during the conference 14
people indicated decisions to trust Jesus during our day of
outreach 51 students pledged to go to a summer mission trip this
year 21 students pledged to serve a year in full time ministry
Would you please join us in praying for Anthony and Destino at
Texas A&M?
We are thankful for you partnership in ministry with us as we
work to raise up a generation of Latino leaders to follow Jesus and
change the world.
With love in Christ,

All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through
Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was
reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s
sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of
reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:18-19
