Is Argentinian and called to Brazil nine years ago. Ben had planned to serve the Lord as a medical doctor, but when plans fell through he began to seek God regarding his next steps. At that time, Ben, was called to full time missions, specifically to São Luis, Brazil. Ben originally went there to serve with a short term team, and God showed him to stay. Today, he has planted a small church as well as mercy ministry. 

Ben has a powerful mandate to preach and teach the true Gospel in an era where this is becoming quite rare in Brazil. Ben is committed to not compromising regardless of persecution, which is becoming more and more common.

Ben is married to a very supportive wife named Prycyllla, and they have a beautiful daughter named Hanne Mellany. Together they are standing for Jesus in a dark place.

Ben is a pastor, a teacher, and an evangelist. He is a tent maker, working as a teacher and driver. His main need for Cup of Cold Water is a home team / support base as he sees a strong need for this in his life and ministry. Ben is supported by friends and family at this time.
