We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ. For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me.

Colossians 1:28-29

These verses from Paul to the church at Colossae capture Dany’s heart and mind in striving to fulfill the Great Commission. God loves all people, and then expects the local church to lead men and women who have trusted Christ as their Savior to actively make disciples of all nationalities.

Dany responded to the Lord’s calling to ministry while in high school. Rather than leaving for seminary after college, he sensed the Lord’s leading to be a high school agricultural science teacher, and it was nine great years of ministry opportunities to students and families. He began serving the local church full-time in 2008. He and his wife, Kimberly, are both graduates of Oklahoma State University. They have served as foster parents, and have adopted two of their four children.

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, wha tis good and acceptable and perfect.

Romans 12:1-2

We are called to live our lives as living sacrifices of worship. Set apart for the good work that God prepared for us in advanced. This verse reminds Victor that everything we do in our lives should be done to glorify God.

Victor responded to God’s call to pursue full time ministry when he was in college. He has been blessed to lead worship across the country and around the world, garnering a heart for the global church as well as the local community. He uses music to lead the church in authentic worship of God, as revealed in His Word, and to shepherd the hearts of believers by singing songs that proclaim what is true about our Savior.

Because of the Lord’s faithful love we do not perish, for his mercies never end. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness! I say, ‘The Lord is my portion, therefore I will put my hope in him.’

Lamentations 3:22-24

But collect for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves don’t break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

She and her husband, Travis, keep up with three children. She enjoys good coffee, reading, cooking, meeting new people and an occasional fuzzy novelty writing instrument to keep the office on its toes.
