Jesús Adrián Romero

by Evan C. Gutierrez
Born in Hermosillo Sonora, Mexico, Jesus Adrian Romero Ibarra knew from an early age that he would pursue a pastoral life, dedicated to Christ and the church. After completing his collegiate biblical studies, Romero served as a pastor in Van Nuys, CA, while completing seminary. Shortly thereafter, Romero felt God's call to plant a church in Aguaprieta Sonora, which would come to be called Amistad y Vida. Romero continued over the next several years to minister in Chihuahua, Mexico, and the surrounding area. Throughout his years of ministry, he has also consistently written songs and led worship in the congregations that he served. For three years Romero served as the praise leader for the group men's ministry group Hombre a Hombre (Man to Man). In 1990, Romero began to record these songs, in hopes of sharing his message of peace and hope with a larger audience. With eight records to his credit, the most recent released on his own label, Vastago Productions, Romero continues to challenge and inspire Latino Christian communities with his emotional, gospel-driven music. He lives with his wife, Pecos, and three children in El Paso, Texas.
