Luis and Maria Elena have been serving the Lord in LifeHouse Church since the start of this ministry, founded by Luis’ parents, Ruth and Luis Villalvazo Sr. Luis and Maria Elena met in a youth meeting and after being best friends for many years they married in 2004. Three years later the Lord gave them a son whom they could mold into the image of Christ.
Luis and Maria Elena learned early on that you do not choose to serve the Lord, but rather He chooses whom will He use. They have served in LifeHouse Church as Youth Pastors at first, but now are Associate Pastors. Together and as a family, they desire to serve the Lord Jesus Christ with all their might
