My name is Chad Carroll, I attended Southeast Texas Tres Dias #21 where I sat at the table of John. My wife and I worship and serve at Magnolia Bible Church in Magnolia, Texas. We have two fur children named Ace and Bailey. I work for Ditch Witch of Houston where I am the service manager. My first weekend to serve in VN was weekend #10 where I served as a Kitchen CHA. Over the years I have seen the impact God has made on teenagers lives through this ministry. Anyone that has been through a Tres Dias weekend says "I wish I had something like this when I was younger, if I did, then maybe my path would have been a little different." Vida Nueva is that three day experience for youth that can show them what it means to be a Christian servant leader in their community. My heart for serving in this ministry is to just walk alongside these youth through their Faith journey and to let them know that their current situation doesn't have to dictate their future.

I attended South East Texas Tres Dias (adult like version of VN) #15 where I sat at the Table of Elizabeth. My daughters and I worship at Real Life Ministries in Tomball Texas. My first VN weekend to serve was #4 and I have returned to serve every weekend since except for one. I have twin 19 year old twin girls, Bre and Maddy, that have both also attended Vida Nueva weekends and have continued to serve each and every weekend. This ministry is very special and close to our hearts. It has grown us and continues to grow us and bring us yet closer to God. We are blessed that we get to be a part of this ministry in being a part of this Board, its weekends and this community. This is where we hear God so clearly and are reminded of who He is as we get to witness how He works in each of the youth that attend and serve as well as the adults. This community is like no other in its support for each other. It has been a crucial support system for my girls as they have navigated some tragedies and just being a teenager. I thank God for this ministry and allowing us to be a part of it. I thank God this is available for our youth today and the opportunity for them to attend a weekend and feel God’s love surrounding them and to be able to take a deep breath and know they are loved and Precious!

My name is Mark DeCordova. My wife Kristie and I attended South East Texas Tres Dias #18. We worship and serve at Restoration Church. I first served VN weekend #6 and six other weekends. Serving a VN weekend IS experiencing the hands, feet and heart of Jesus at work! We have witnessed many young men and young women’s lives transformed forever by God’s love. We have also been blessed to watch these youth develop the servant heart’s to become leaders in this community, their schools and in their church. Thank you Jesus!

Hello my name is Orlando Munive aka Big O. I attended Grace Gulf Coast Tres #5 where I sat at the table of Luke. My children and I attend and serve at Grace Church Houston. I am a divorced single dad with 3 adult children; Felicia, Yadira and Orlando III (Lil O) and 2 grandchildren Bryan and Aliana. I am blessed to have all my children attend either SETVN or Tres Dias weekend. I am also blessed and humbled to be part this community that loves the Lord and has a huge heart for children as much as I do. Being on the board as an At Large member for SETVN will give me an opportunity have a better outlook on the spiritual foundation of the ministry and its direction. I believe that our direction should always point towards Our Lord Jesus Christ first, treat each other intentionally with love and respect and all will fall perfectly into place. Thank you.

Hello, my name is Jayden Hayes! I attended South East Texas Vida Nueva #8 where I sat at the table of David. I, with my amazing parents and wonderful siblings worship at Fellowship Bible Church in Pearland, Texas. I currently serve on the board of South East Texas Vida Nueva. I am also grateful to be an employee of HydroChem PSC as an LDAR Technician, under the company my dad works for, DOW.

I had first attended the weekend after my parents had told me about an awesome ministry similar to Tres Dias, the ministry they had been attending for a long while. Leaving out very little, I went out on the weekend event and could not believe the amount of love and care a ministry could have for us and our Father God. After the weekend I made a promise to serve in the ministry and have since then been apart of it! I serve to help show the same love and care I received over my weekend, and help them back or into the path of faith for our Father and Jesus Christ. I love every bit of it, and am very grateful!
