Pastor
Abraham Morales
Primera Iglesia Bautista de Peniel
Pastor Testimony:
Pastor Abraham accepted the Lord at age 15 at Primera Iglesia Bautista Peniel (the same church he now pastors!) By age 18, he was sent as a missionary to the Dominican Republic, where he served for 20 years. He married and had his kids in Puerto Rico, while traveling frequently to the Dominican Republic. He returned to the island and served as a deacon at Primera Iglesia Bautista de Peniel. The previous pastor of the church was about to retire, and the congregation prayerfully decided that Abraham should become their pastor. He then started studying to become a pastor, and has been pastoring since 2013. Pastor dreams about continuing to help his community. PPM teams help to inspire his church members to live and think missionally. He desires to impact every man, woman, child, youth, and elderly member of their community and hopes the church's ministries can do that.
