Alex moved to Cartagena in September 2016 to serve as a full-time missionary at Calvary Chapel Cartagena where he led a Bible study in the island of Tierra Bomba. After 5 months, that Bible study turned into a church plant.

Alex married his wife, Carolina, in 2018, who at the time was serving alongside the Calvary team in Tierra Bomba.  God was then calling them to serve in the island and get more involved with the community. After leading the kids ministry in Calvary Chapel Cartagena for almost 3 years, Alex and Carolina finally moved to Tierra Bomba where they do ministry full time.
