Drs. Jorge and Jorge have a proven and fruitful track record of not only planting and revitalizing congregations but also training the next generation of church leaders, pastors, and planters for the 21st century. They bring years of experience in coaching and consulting that would be beneficial no matter the context.

I have had the great pleasure of working closely with the Rev. Dr. Jorge Ochoa for several years. He has the unique ability to visualize desired results and effectively work backwards with the confidence of his experience to set a detailed path to success no matter the issue. Experience, creative thinking, and impeccable credentials make Dr. Ochoa an excellent choice for long-range planning and specific problem-solving issues. Dr. Jorge Riano's leadership and passion are unsurpassed in any church today, and he brings that same leadership and passion to the opportunities facing people. Rev. Riano’s excitement commands a room and is contagious his enthusiasm in every situation. As a trained scientist, he also brings a level of analysis that gets to the core of issues and offers methodical suggestions to address each. The combination of excitement and skilled analysis makes Rev. Riano an excellent choice for a partner in navigating today’s challenging and changing environment.

I have had the privilege of working with Rev Jorge Ochoa and knowing since 1981. Over the years, I have come to deeply respect Jorge’s exceptional talents, dedication, and integrity in both his ministry and business endeavors. Jorge is a remarkably multi-talented individual who has demonstrated outstanding leadership in managing large groups of people within an international context. His extensive experience spans across ministry and business, reflecting his ability to excel in diverse fields. In his ministry work, Jorge has made a significant impact by building an extensive network of Spanish-speaking pastors and congregations. In addition to his ministry accomplishments, Jorge has shown great aptitude in the business sector. He has electively managed sales and logistics operations into foreign markets, showcasing his strategic thinking and operational expertise. His ability to assess people's needs and guide them towards achieving their goals is a testament to his exceptional interpersonal skills and professional acumen. One of Jorge’s most admirable qualities is his kind and understanding heart. He approaches every challenge with compassion and empathy, making him a trusted leader and a valued colleague. His genuine care for others and his commitment to their success are evident in every aspect of his work.

"Rev. Dr. Jorge Jorge Riano planted over a dozen churches in Cuba before coming to serve in the NWTX Conference of The United Methodist Church. When he arrived, he wasted no time acclimating to the conference and engaging in evangelism to reach local families. He served alongside Rev. Dr. Jorge Ochoa to expand church planting through the Hispanic/Latino Movement and to launch the Christian Academy with United Theological Seminary. Now, he is a professor at United, teaching Master of Divinity courses in Spanish to empower and inspire other Spanish-speaking people who are called to ministry. If you are hoping to work with someone who understands how to put theory into practice, Rev. Dr. Riano is an excellent match." "I always enjoyed working with Rev. Dr. Jorge Ochoa. He was an encouraging thought partner and colleague. Jorge took an innovative approach to problem solving and always kept the organizational mission at the forefront of strategic planning. Any leader considering coaching or wanting to expand his or her vision for what is possible, will feel benefit from working with Equipo Rio."

Durante los pasados 6 años he trabajado de manera cercana con el Rev. Dr. Jorge Ochoa y el Pastor Jorge L. Jorge Riaño en temas relacionados con plantación de nuevas Iglesias, movilización y transformación congregacional; identificación, empoderamiento y desplazamiento de nuevos líderes y metodologías de alcance a la comunidad, así como hacer nuevos discípulos de Jesucristo. Mucho de lo aprendido con el Dr. Ochoa y el Pastor Jorge fue aplicado a la plantación de nuevas iglesias y desarrollo de líderes en la Florida, trayendo un nuevo enfoque y renovada pasión a nuestras comunidades de fe. No solo por medio de visitas presenciales que hice a estos hermanos en Lubbock, TX para entrenamientos e intercambio de ideas, sino también a través del uso de diversas plataformas nos mantuvimos activamente en comunicación durante el tiempo que este proceso de transformación ocurría acá en la Florida. En mis intercambios y relacionamiento con el Dr. Ochoa y el Pastor Jorge siempre encontré disponibilidad, apertura, sensibilidad y formas de desafiar mis propias concepciones, ayudándome a abrirme a nuevas posibilidades. Estoy muy agradecido a Dios por nuestra amistad y colaboración en las tareas del Reino.
