In January 2003, having felt the call of God, Pastor Jose and Joanne came to New York, where he assumed a new ministry post, as Director of Adventist Youth Ministries in the Greater New York Conference. In this post he provides leadership, vision, training, and resources to leaders in the areas of: Adventurers, Pathfinders, Master Guides, Teens, Collegiate, Young Adults, National Service Organization, Bible Bowl, and Summer Camp. Pastor Jose, Joanne, Jose III and now, Joel Benjamin are a team, they minister together; you will never see one, without seeing the other three.
Pastor Jose is grateful to God for His grace and for the risk God takes to entrust such important mission to a sinner. He believes that young people and adults need each other to finish the proclamation of the Gospel. He believes that the only way to keep the youth and young adults faithful to Jesus and in the church is to give them assurance of their salvation, hope in the Second Coming, and to keep them working on behalf of those who have neither of the first two. Pastor Jose upholds the fact that Youth Ministries do not happen at the Conference Office, but must happen daily at the local church; and definitely, not only within the walls of the church, but outside in the church’s community. He is a firm believer that Youth Ministries produce baptisms and faithful disciples to God and His church. If it doesn’t, it isn’t Adventist Youth Ministries.
