Leadership

Juan Sancho was born in Costa Rica but during his childhood he grew up in Miami. He gave his life to the Lord in 2004 through a fellow student and joined his church. Later, God sent him to Chicago. Juan arrived in Chicago around 2006. Not long after, he joined MPI Church and later attended and graduated Bible College. With God moving in Juan’s life, God planted a seed in Juan’s heart to plant a church where he grew up, Miami. Juan met a young woman named Diana in 2009. They got married and were blessed with a child, whom they named Elijah in, 2014. Juan and Diana both became Deacons at MPI Church in 2016. They served in life group settings and evangelism for ten years. In November 2019, Diana suddenly died from heart failure, and Juan faced one of his darkest seasons in his life. He struggled as a single parent to raise Elijah and to rebuild his life without Diana. Juan currently holds a Bachelor of Arts from Moody Bible Institute. He has a Master of Divinity Degree at SUM Bible Theological Seminary and is currently pursuing his Doctorate of Ministry in Biblical Preaching at Moody Theological Seminary.  Juan Sancho served as an intern Pastor at MPI Church, and he is the pastor and church planter at Miami For Jesus. In August 2024, MPI Staff decided to no longer be part of the journey. Juan is also a former Bible professor at Legacy Ministry College where he began to teach in the Fall 2021. 1 Corinthians 15:10, “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
