About the Author
"Pastor Oscar was born in Ecuador and emigrated to the United States at age 10. At age 35, he encountered Jesus Christ on February 28, 1989, and became an active Bible study participant and volunteer with the Children’s choir. He created a bible study group in his office, meeting weekly for study and prayer from 1990 through 1998. In 1991 he became a Stephen Minister, where he learned that saying “yes” to God produces spiritual growth, leadership, self-confidence, discipline, communication skills, and a deep appreciation for the value of time and family.
In 1991 Oscar went on a mission to Nagarote, Nicaragua, and continued pursuing mission work. In 1993 and 1995, he participated in Ecuador's Christian mission with Medical Missions International. As a result, Oscar reconnected with the Hispanic culture and began to work locally with El Camino United Methodist Church (UMC). He was a counselor for the Billy Graham Evangelical Association and participated in the 1994 New York Central Park campaign.
From 1995-1998 Oscar became more involved in the leadership of El Camino, serving as a worship music leader, lay leader, lay speaker, treasurer, and bible study teacher. While on a mission in Bolivia (2004), God called Oscar to become a local pastor, serving the Hispanic communities in Norwalk and Bridgeport through worship, bible study, social justice, immigration, feeding, and educational programs.
In June 2010, after 35 years of service, Oscar retired from Diversified Investment Advisors as Vice President - Compliance / Spanish Services to dedicate more time to church, community, and missions. Oscar became the Team Leader for Volunteer In Missions, leading many groups to Ecuador for construction, medical, and Vacation Bible Study missions. In June 2017, Pastor Oscar retired from the United Methodist Church to dedicate more time to family. He writes daily bible meditations in English and Spanish on Facebook and YouTube and enjoys Racquetball, bicycling, music, and chess.
Family: Pastor Oscar is married to Margarita Xanthopoulou-Destruge. God has blessed them with two Children: Jean-Paul and Sophia, and three grandchildren, Sègoléne Sevastí, Salomé Ellie, and Lázaro Elías. "
