Gavino V & Mariana J Hernandez #1662

Gavino Hernandez was born into a single-parent household. He and his mother lived in a small town in Ohio. At six, Gavino and his mother started attending a Local Baptist Church. After a few years of attending and serving in their local church, God called Jayne Hernandez (Gavino's mother) to the mission field in Monterrey, Mexico. Jayne and Gavino partnered with veteran Missionaries Doyle and Dixie Johnson for over a decade and a half. Gavino went to the Christian school at the local church. He received Jesus as his Savior at the age of eleven. He surrendered his life for the service of Christ at the age of fifteen. He immediately began serving in his local church. He assisted Pastor Raul Reyes for the next six years while finishing high school and the Bible institute. In May 2014, Gavino graduated from his local church Bible institute and married Mariana on November 27, 2014. They are blessed with two daughters, Naya Marie, and Alya Monserrath. In 2017, the Hernandez family moved back to Ohio. They began attending Cornerstone Baptist Church in Findlay, Ohio. Months later, Gavino and Mariana took over the Junior Church ministry. In 2020, Gavino began working on the church staff as a Management Associate. They are second-generation Missionaries called to the country of Mexico.
