Hello, I am José Figueroa! I was born and raised in Puerto Rico but I have been living in the Lone Star State for almost 35 years. After spending time in Houston and Austin, I am now living in the DFW area in the city of Frisco.
I came to know and accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior in 1984 during a Friday morning Chapel Service at my High School.
I grew up attending church and Sunday School and I loved every minute of it. I always loved to read the Bible especially the Old Testament stories. Participating in Vacation Bible School (VBS) was a highlight of my childhood.
However, it was not until that day in 1984 when I came to a decision point regarding Jesus. It was then that I recognized I was a great sinner in need of a great Savior. Since that day, I have had hope and purpose which can only be found in the Living Word, Christ Jesus.
My love for God’s Word has only increased since then. I love reading and studying the Bible. I also really enjoy listening to great expository preaching on Podcasts.
In previous years, I have had the privileged opportunity to teach the Bible to both children and adults and that has been my most rewarding experience.
That’s why I have begun this ministry to share what I have learned with you so we can continue growing together in the knowledge and love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
