JC and Darlene met in 1999 and were married in 2002. They are both third and sixth-generation Apostolic. JC and Darlene both graduated from CSTI and served as senior pastors before being called to the mission field. Under the Short-Term Missions program the Magallanes’ served six months in Nigeria and seventeen months in Namibia. During their time in Lagos, Nigeria, they helped the church navigate through the COVID lockdowns. They helped to establish the first online Bible school in Africa, and ministered weekly with teaching, preaching, and leading worship via zoom. In Namibia, they worked in the northern part of the country close to the border of Angola. There, they established several preaching points in different villages and baptized many in Jesus’ name, including some trinitarian pastors and their congregations.
The Magallanes have received missionary appointment to the countries of Namibia and Angola, where they will be involved in the national work in both countries, establish a Bible school, visit existing churches, and villages to preach, teach, disciple, strengthen and encourage them in their faith. In addition to this, they will mentor and train existing ministers in Namibia and Angola.
