Jonathan Calheiros writes, "It all begins in Israel in 2005 when Jonathan and Carolina meet for the first time in the Holy Land. Two young people from different cultures and languages, but with the same call to serve God.  After their marriage in 2007, Jonathan and Carolina Calheiros began their ministry in praise and worship, their goal being to exalt the name of Christ and guide people to encounter God through worship. In 2012, the couple began a ministry called "Jonykaro". Since then, they have recorded two albums, Solo Tu Eres Santo (Only You are Holy) in 2012, and Sedientos (Thirsty) in 2018. After living in Colombia for six years, Jonathan and Carolina returned to the United States with their three children in 2019. The Calheiros family are members of Faith Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Bartlett, Tennessee where they all serve in the worship team. Jonathan and Carolina are both enrolled in Memphis Theological Seminary and they look forward to beginning an intercultural ministry in the region."  Check out their Youtube page at https://www.youtube.com/c/Jonykaro and website at http://jonykaro.com/.

Rev. Abby Prevost says, "I have had the gift of serving at the Welti Cumberland Presbyterian Church as the Associate Pastor of Christian Education since 2016. My nieces and nephews are my favorite part of life; the rest of my family is pretty great, too. I was born and raised in Columbus, Mississippi where First Cumberland Presbyterian Church is the family of faith that helped raise me and shape my faith.  I received a Bachelors in Human Services and Sociology from Bethel University, a certificate in Youth Ministry from the Center for Youth Ministry Training Center, and a Masters of Divinity from Memphis Theological Seminary.
Working with young people is, by far, my favorite part of my calling. It is a true gift to have the privilege of journeying  with them and getting to see them experiencing and growing in their knowledge, faith, service, grace, and love for God."

Rev. Dr. Gloria Villa Diaz has been the bilingual pastor for inmates residing in county jails, state prisons, federal institutions, and detention centers, through New Day in Christ Ministries, for the last 11 years, (newdayinchrist.org). As some inmates leave prison to experience extreme poverty, she became member of the board of Crossroads at Park Place to serve those in severe need in SE Houston, Texas (crossroadsatparkplace.org). In addition, she is the moderator of The Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Freeport, Texas, and is the chair of the Committee on Probationers at Trinity Presbytery. At the denominational level, Gloria serves on the Board of Trustees of Memphis Theological Seminary (memphisseminary.edu).

Gloria perceives God at work in the life of each person she encounters. Each time she hears fresh ideas, and people developing all kind of projects, she blesses God. Also, each time she sees her plants at home just growing and being fruitful, she infers that the nature is alive, and that God is sustaining the creation. Gloria seeks continually the voice of God through the Bible and the church, and through the voice of the elderly and the children, the men and the women, the married and the single.

Gloria lives in Houston with her husband Rev. Dr. Fredy Diaz. Both have been married for 30 years and have a grown son, Benjamin, who plays the piano at church. Gloria has joined Fredy to explore delivering the Sunday sermon as a conversation. If you want to join Fredy, Gloria, and Benjamin for worship service in Spanish (with subtitles in English), go to YouTube channel, Iglesia Presbiteriana Cumberland de Houston.
