Jesus (Chuy) & Karla Rodriguez

Chuy and Karla are the founders of Project Puente. Chuy was born and raised in Mexico City and Karla was born and raised in the Washington D.C. area to a Salvadoran family. They both have almost 25 years of ministry experience, and in the last 10 years, Chuy has planted and pastored in Mexico and the United States. They are the proud parents of Joel, Luciana, Sofia and Caleb.

They are passionate about Project Puente, mostly because they have experienced first hand the difficulties ministers face in Latin America.  As a Pastor and Church Planter in both, Latin America and in the United States, Chuy has lived the contrasting realities between both countries and his heart aches for the faithful pastors in difficult conditions. Karla has faced the realities and struggles of raising a family while doing life in both countries as well. Their perspectives have moved them to desire to help the families of those pastors they labored with.

Chuy holds degrees in Biblical Studies, Practical Theology & Music Composition. Karla holds degrees in Music and Biblical Counseling
