Originally from Belize, Ronal Soto has dedicated his life to sharing the Gospel and serving communities in need. Raised as a pastor’s child, ministry was an integral part of his upbringing, laying a strong foundation of faith, obedience, and service from an early age.

Today, Ronal serves alongside his Costa Rican wife, Valerie Morales. Married for three and a half years, they recently welcomed their first child, Eliam Samuel. While Valerie works as a teacher in San José, where the family resides, their hearts belong to the rural community of San Bernardino. For the past three and a half years, Ronal and Valerie have served voluntarily as pastors to the local community. Every weekend, they embark on a three-plus-hour journey to San Bernardino to lead services, mentor youth, and walk alongside families.

Despite the physical demands of weekly travel with a newborn, Ronal’s devotion to God’s calling remains steadfast. His deepest desire is to faithfully shepherd the people of San Bernardino while trusting God for the resources and opportunities that will allow their family to relocate closer to the community they serve.
