Meet Robert Guerrero—a voice for justice, compassion, and community renewal. Growing up in 1960s New York City and the Dominican Republic, Robert developed resilience early in life as he wrestled with fear.
As a teen, Robert moved back to the DR. He resonated with his dad’s agnostic perspective—until something special began to take place. When he was 18, his girlfriend’s mom handed him a Bible to scare him off, but he found himself surprised by the Gospel. He saw himself in Jesus’ stories, experienced his intimacy, and quickly became a missional agent in the streets. I appreciate his heart for church planters and stewarding church planting that embraces the margins and evokes holistic mission, “misión integral.”
We are grateful that Robert speaks honestly and graciously in this bonus conversation about what attracted him to church planting and the challenges it entails.
