Speaker
Jesse Macias
Guest Speaker
20 years in Deaf ministry, evangelism, and outreach leadership.
Hello, my name is Jesse Macias. I was born and raised in San Diego, California, and graduated from Riverside School for the Deaf.
I have been blessed with a wonderful marriage to my wife, Mary Macias, for 18 years. Together we have raised seven amazing children and are now grandparents to four precious grandchildren. I have worked for the government as a journeyman pipe welder for 26 years.
Ministry Highlights
- In December 2006, I experienced a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ that broke chains of darkness and launched my ministry calling.
- Over the past 20 years, I have served on mission trips, shared my testimony in many places, and traveled as an evangelist to Deaf churches.
- I have helped establish community outreach efforts and served in Deaf ministry leadership, equipping and encouraging the body of Christ.
- God has given me boldness to speak His truth and, through His anointing, see lives set free and renewed.
Sincerely,
Brother Jesse Macias
