Rabbi Carlos and his wife Sonia were born and raised in Puerto Rico. They both studied in Puerto Rico and Carlos continued his studies in the United States at Christopher Newport University and Thomas Nelson Community College. Carlos served in the U.S. army for eight and one half years where he spent some of his service as a translator for the Army Chaplains. In 1983, he began a long career in law enforcement in Williamsburg, Virginia. In 2001-2002, Carlos traveled on several church mission trips to Mexico and felt led to become engaged in ministry leadership.

After an extended trip in Puerto Rico in 2006, Rabbi Carlos and Sonia returned to the U.S. commissioned as pastors. In 2009, Rabbi Carlos and Pastor Sonia graduated from The Bible Institute of Oasis of Life Hispanic Christian Ministry in Newport News, Virginia.

In 2009, Carlos and Sonia were drawn to explore their Jewish heritage and, for the last three years, they have been studying with Rabbi Carlson of Newport News. In 2011, they were anointed with a Rabbinic blessing by Rabbi Carlson. They are continuing their training with The Israel Institute School. They have served as volunteers and supporters of The Heritage Foundation, The family Foundation, S.T.A.N.D. and the Virginia Christian Alliance.

About the Author

Virginia Christian Alliance
The mission of the VIRGINIA CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE is to promote moral, social and scientific issues we face today from a Biblical point of view. In addition we will refute and oppose, not with hate, but with facts and humor, the secular cultural abuses that have overridden laws and standards of conduct of the past. We will encourage Christians to participate in these efforts through conferences, development of position papers, booklets and tracts, radio/TV spots, newspaper ads and articles and letters-to-the editor, web sites, newsletters and providing speakers for church and civic meetings.
