About James and Barbarita

God called us both from opposite sides of the world to serve in Queretaro, Mexico with Compa campus ministry. James was born in South Korea, but grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Los Angeles, California, where he developed a love for Spanish speakers. Barbarita served in Yucatan, Mexico for several summers with I.D.E.A. Ministries, learning the language and developing a passion for Mexico. God graciously allowed us both to graduate from Reformed Bible College (now Kuyper College) with Bachelors in Missions. James continued preparing for missions by obtaining a Masters in Missions at Calvin Theological Seminary while Barbarita completed nursing studies. Now as we live and minister in Mexico with our children, we believe that the Lord will continue to equip us to witness to the Good News of God’s Kingdom and make disciples of all nations.
