About

"The Rev. Sergio Maita and his wife, Yoxandris, serve the Lord as missionaries through The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), based in Puerto Rico. As a church planter and theological educator, Sergio serves a new church plant in San Juan, where he connects with people to help bring them into the church. He is also a professor at Concordia the Reformer Seminary in Palmar Arriba, Dominican Republic, a position he has held since the seminary opened in 2017.
Sergio is from Maturín, Venezuela. He attended the Juan de Frías Bible Institute as well as a pastoral formation program led by pastors from the LCMS and Latin America. He was ordained in 2008 and served several congregations in Venezuela while teaching at the Bible institute. He attended Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, where he received his S.T.M. degree. In 2015, he accepted a Divine Call to serve as a missionary pastor in the Dominican Republic, where he planted churches, mentored Dominican men studying to become pastors, and taught at Concordia the Reformer Seminary.
Yoxandris is also from Maturín, where she and Sergio met at church. She graduated from dental school in 2011 and stays busy with nurturing the couple’s three children, helping in the new church plant, and studying dentistry.
Pray for the Maitas as they serve in Puerto Rico. Ask God to be with their family as they transition to life in a new country. Pray that God would open the hearts and minds of the people they meet, so that all might come to know Jesus Christ as the Savior. Give thanks to God for the Maitas and their service in this part of the world."
