What We Are Doing

We are Church Planters with Northwest Baptist Missions serving in Oregon. Lord willing, our first church plant will be in Wilsonville, Oregon, a town in the South Metro Portland area. We plan to accomplish this through:

  • Evangelizing the lost
  • Discipling believers to maturity
  • Involving them in the joy of ministry through the local church

The church in Wilsonville will be a “mother church” with the goal of sending out “daughter churches” throughout Oregon and the Northwest.

How You Can Help

  • Pray for us as we follow God’s will for us.
  • Allow us to share our heart and vision with you and your church.
  • Join in our vision by financially supporting us.

Testimonies

Edwin

    I grew up in West Columbia, SC during most of my formative years. I attended Grace Baptist Church and Grace Christian School, under the leadership of Dr. Bob Kelley. At the age of 12, during a school revival service preached by Evangelist Tom Farrell, I accepted Christ as my personal Savior. Four years later, at a similar revival service, I answered the call of God on my life to enter full-time ministry.

Cassie

    I grew up in a Christian home in Pennsylvania. As a five year old girl at West Chester Christian School in West Chester, PA, I remember hearing my teacher talk about getting saved. At the teachers invitation I spoke to her about my need for salvation and accepted Christ at that time. A few years later I began to have some doubts. I got the assurance of my salvation after my mother lovingly counseled me through that time.

Gabe

    Gabe is the oldest of the Lugo children. He was born on September 19, 2006. Gabe accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior on April 30, 2011. He is excited about moving to Oregon and helping his dad share the gospel and plant a church. He enjoys Scooby-Doo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Pizza!

Josiah

    Josiah was born on May 5, 2009, and is full of energy. He enjoys Raving Rabbids, playing video games, Mac N' Cheese, and playing with his brothers.

Canaan

    Canaan is the newest addition to the Lugo clan, born on July 13, 2013. He enjoys Mickey Mouse, Blues Clues, blueberries, having a clean diaper, and playing with his brothers.
