Jessica was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala and came to the United States in 1981. Her parents came to the United States with hopes to provide a better life for their family. As an immigrant family they encountered many hardships as they struggled to adjust to a new country, new culture, and a new language. Despite the challenges, God blessed her by giving her amazing and godly mentors through many seasons in her life. She came to Wilcrest Baptist Church in 1989 and has had the privilege of serving in various ministries and traveling to several nations to spread the Gospel. Jessica graduated from the University of Houston with a Bachelor of Science and taught in the Alief Independent School District for 17 years. In 1997, Jessica married her best friend, Darren and they are now the proud parents of their beautiful daughter, Hannah. She enjoys spending time with her family, reading, and singing. God called her to join the Wilcrest Staff in 2014 as Minister to Preschool and Children. Jessica’s life passion is to know Christ and to follow Him with reckless abandonment. She has a strong burden for the family and knows that our world, nation, and city are in desperate need for Christ and it begins with the family. Jessica understands that she has a great responsibility to equip every generation with the Gospel message and to make sure that they live out the “Great Commission.” One child, one family, one community at a time.
