Deivi Garcia was born in Orange County, California. When he was 6 years old he along with his family made the move to Mexico. At the age of 14 years old he moved to Texas where he began his high school years. When he was 16, he experienced the power of God’s love that led to his conversion through a youth retreat. The Bible verse that he still remembers to this day is Deuteronomy 31:6, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, or the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” This verse has helped Deivi navigate the challenges that life comes with.
After two years of being at Southwestern University in Keene TX, he felt the call to ministry. There, he obtained his Bachelor’s of Theology degree in 2013. After graduation, he served at Garland and Mesquite Spanish Seventh Day Adventist churches as a youth pastor from 2013-2016. He then went to complete his Masters of Divinity (M.Div.) with an emphasis in youth and young adult ministry at Andrews University, in Berrien Springs, Michigan. After completing his M.Div in 2019, he worked at East Texas in Montalba, Jacksonville, & Palestine district from 2019-2020, as well as the Spring Branch Spanish SDA Church from 2020-2023.
Deivi met his wife Dania at a church concert. Deivi is happily married to his beautiful wife Dania Garcia, who completed her Bachelor's degree in Healthcare Administration at Texas State University. She also holds both an MBA and a Masters in Leadership from Grand Canyon University.
They have a baby boy named Ezra who was recently born January 9, 2024.
Deivi’s passion is to develop meaningful relationships by facilitating spiritual and personal growth. He feels God has called him to disciple and teach others to reflect a Christ-like character. Both Deivi and Dania love Jesus and are passionate about sharing God’s love with those around them.
