President

A Central American national, born to missionary parents, Indy has dedicated her life to lifting up and empowering Latin Americans.

Indy’s women's conference, Mujer Auténtica has been presented in the U.S., Mexico, Central America and South America. This conference boldly discusses what the scriptures say about a woman's ministry, marriage and combining them in a way to please God and her family.

She is a published Christian music songwriter, has written and published her Bible study Mujer Auténtica and is in the final stages of writing a children's book series.

Indy established U.S.AMEN Ministry to aid evangelical churches in Latin American countries. In January 2006 mission teams traveled to Grecia, Costa Rica to begin construction on a church. Efforts continue to raise money for construction. Mobilized mission teams are involved with the nationals in building the church. This forms a partnership with eternal value.
