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 his enthusiasm is contagious 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.

For the past 6 years I have worked closely with Rev. Dr. Jorge Ochoa and Pastor Jorge L. Jorge Riaño on issues related to church planting, congregational mobilization and transformation; identifying, empowering and deploying new leaders and community outreach methodologies, as well as making new disciples of Jesus Christ. Much of what I learned from Dr. Ochoa and Pastor Jorge was applied to new church planting and leadership development in Florida, bringing a new focus and renewed passion to our faith communities. Not only through in-person visits I made to these brothers in Lubbock, TX for training and exchange of ideas, but also through the use of various platforms we remained actively in communication during the time this transformation process was occurring here in Florida. In my exchanges and relationships with Dr. Ochoa and Pastor Jorge I always found availability, openness, sensitivity and ways to challenge my own conceptions, helping me to open myself to new possibilities. I am very grateful to God for our friendship and collaboration in the tasks of the Kingdom.
