PASTOR LELIO & GINNA ARIZA

Pastors Lelio and Ginna Ariza had an encounter with Jesus at a young age that transformed their lives and led them to love and serve God with all their hearts. In 2008, they were ordained as pastors at International Charismatic Mission (MCI) in Bogotá, Colombia, under the leadership of Pastors César and Emma Claudia Castellanos. Since then, they have been part of the pastoral team at the main church.

After years of prayer as a family and in response to the call of the Great Commission, they moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 2023. Along with their sons Lucas and Josué, students at Oral Roberts University, they began a prayer meeting in their apartment with other university students. After a few months, this meeting eventually became MCI Tulsa: a multicultural and bilingual church located in downtown Tulsa, where families, youth, and children experience an encounter with Jesus, grow in their faith, and are transformed by the presence of God.

Pastors Lelio and Ginna carry out their ministry alongside their calling to extend the Kingdom of God through education and culture.
