Bro. Garcia was born in Puerto Rico.  As a child, he was raised a Catholic like most Hispanics, then later as a Lutheran.  Although he had some interests in spiritual matters, he was uneasy and knew something simply was not right religiously in the world.  He kept asking himself how could there be only one God and so many varied churches all with different doctrines, teachings, and beliefs contradicting one another and in competition with one another.  This couldn't be right, he said.  There had to be something wrong he kept telling himself. 

During the Vietnam war, he was stationed with the U.S. Air Force in South Carolina.  One day he was riding on the highway and saw a sign which stated that a particular church only preached, believed, and followed what is in the Bible.  That got his attention and elevated his curiosity.  He visited that church which appeared in the billboard.  After much study, he came to the only logical conclusion as revealed in the Bible...that he had found the church the Bible mentions.  God does not approve nor does He condone religious division as it exists today.  He kept studying the Word of God diligently.  Finally, in 1987, Bro. Garcia and his wife were both baptized into Christ in the Lord's church, the church of the Bible, and became a member of the body of Christ, His church, the Church of Christ. Hallelujah!

In December of 1988, Bro. Garcia began preaching the Word of God and His truth in love and continues to this day.  He taught and baptized both of his parents into the Lord's church.  The Lord has led Bro. Garcia from congregation to congregation throughout the years in the United States and Caribbean.  Now, he's finally found his permanent home (while he is in this life) to worship God at the Independent Church of Christ in Oklahoma City. 

There are several things that distinguishes Bro. Garcia from the rest.  They are as follows: (1) Christ is TRULY his life (Colossians 3:4); (2) He is NOT ASHAMED of the gospel of Christ for he knows it has the power of salvation to all who believe (Romans 1:16); (3) He has been converted and convinced (Matthew 10:32); (4) He knows in whom he has believed (2 Timothy 1:12); (5) He is a lover of TRUTH (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12); (6) He wholeheartedly believes in restoring New Testament Christianity (Acts 2:38-47); (7) He is faithful to Christ, mature in the faith, and apt to teach (2 Timothy 2:2); (8) He preaches the truth of God's Word in love (Ephesians 4:15); (9) He is a servant of Christ and does not preach to please men (Galatians 1:10); (10) He does not add or take from God's Word for he knows the eternal consequences by doing so
(~I Corinthians 4:6~; Revelation 22:18-19); (11) He speaks where the Bible speaks and is silent where the Bible is silent (~I Peter 4:11~); (12) He is a college graduate from Bayamon Central University, a Catholic university, in Puerto Rico; and (13) Being bilingual, his sermons are preached both in Spanish and English so all can be edified and encouraged.  As if this isn't enough, Bro. Garcia is always ready to serve others rather than being served.  He treats others with respect, dignity, and courtesy.  However, he is uncompromising when it comes to the truth of God's Word (~I Timothy 1:3~; Ephesians 4:14).  Oh, one more thing.  He preaches completely free.  He does not believe in becoming a financial burden to the Church or any particular congregation.  That's why he works to support himself and his family.  Whenever he is invited to preach, he always pays his way.  The Lord always provides.

 Now you know something about this Minister for the Lord's church and the Independent Church of Christ congregation.
