FIELD
In July 2005, Lupita was appointed by Missions Door to work in youth and children’s ministries at Berea Christian School in Santo Domingo. She is teaching Bible classes at the school, developing a youth club and training Sunday school teachers. She also helps with the evangelization of children in the various communities where new churches are being planted.

Lupita is a young lady who has a great desire to serve the Lord in missionary work. God has worked in her life to help her mature spiritually and to learn greater dependence on Him. For her, to know God is not a method, but a relationship of love with a person.

FAITH
Lupita is from Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. She started attending church with her mother at the age of 5, together with her seven older brothers. But it was when she was a teenager that she finally accepted Jesus as her personal Savior.

In 2000, she graduated from high school in Nogales, Mexico. After she graduated, she decided to obtain theological training, so she registered at Nogales Baptist Seminary (SEBANO), a seminary affiliated with Missions Door.

While attending church, Lupita heard many testimonies of missionaries who were having an impact in the lives of people, and this created in her an interest in missions. Then, during her time in seminary, she asked God to mold her life in a special way, if her calling was to serve Him through missions.

Lupita has served in her local church as a preschool teacher, youth president, director of summer Bible school, adult Sunday school teacher and as a leader of a youth mission trip. In November 2004, Lupita received an invitation to come on a vision trip to the Dominican Republic, and it was there that God confirmed her conviction that she was called to serve the Lord as a missionary.

FAMILY
Lupita was born into a family of eight children. She has seven older brothers.
