Andrez Tarango

Hey! My name’s Andrez. I’m a FOCUS missionary.

Misionero bilingüe – español y ingles

Where I serve

God has called me to serve college students at the University of Texas at Rio Grande Valley. You’ll typically find me hanging out at the university cafe, the Newman Center, or high-fiving people around campus. I have a pretty cool story about how Jesus has changed my life — I think you should hear it sometime! Come find me and I’d love to share it with you. 🙂

Dios me ha llamado a servir estudiantes en la University of Texas at Rio Grade Valley en Edinburg, TX. Me encontraras con los estudiantes en el cafe universitario, the centro catolico de estudiantes, o hablano con personas por el campus. Tengo una historia muy bueno sobre como Jesus cambio mi vida — yo creo que deberias escucharle alguna vez. Encuentrame y me encantara compartirlo contigo!

My Story

As a missionary, my greatest desire is to lead all students to Christ. My life has been transformed by Jesus and I want nothing more than to bring this joy to others and introduce them to the life-changing message of the Gospel. In His ministry on earth, Jesus humbled Himself to meet us on our level, taking on our humanity, and spent most of His time investing in a deeply few. I look to Jesus own example to find the best method of reaching the world. I’ve been constantly amazed by the different souls I’ve encountered on campus.

Como misionero, mi mayor deseo es llevar a todos los estudiantes a Cristo. Mi vida ha sido transformada por Jesús y no quiero nada más que llevar esta alegr a a los demás y presentarles el mensaje del Evangelio que cambia la vida. En Su ministerio en la tierra, Jesús se humilló a sí mismo para encontrarnos a nuestro nivel, asumiendo nuestra humanidad, y pas la mayor parte de Su tiempo invirtiendo profundamente en unos pocos. Miro el ejemplo de Jesús para encontrar el mejor método para alcanzar los del mundo. He estado constantemente asombrado por las diferentes almas que he encontrado en el campus.
