About La Mesa Dinner church
Meet Fausto & Debbie Martinez
Fausto and Debbie Martinez have spent much of their lives serving people and sharing the love of Jesus across cultures. They served for 15 years at the New York School of Urban Ministry and later spent eight years in Mexico, where their ministry focused especially on building relationships, serving families, and caring for orphaned and vulnerable children.
Fausto is originally from the Dominican Republic, and he and Debbie first met through missions. Now married for 20 years, that shared heart for people and cross-cultural ministry continues to shape their life together. In 2018, they founded Miraculous Love International, a nonprofit ministry through which they continue serving people locally and internationally.

Now back in the Pittsburgh area, Fausto and Debbie are excited to lead La Mesa Family Dinner Church. Their heart for La Mesa is simple: to create a place around the table where individuals and families can enjoy a meal, build genuine friendships, experience the love of God, and discover what it means to follow Jesus together.
They believe church is more than a service you attend—it is a family you belong to. At La Mesa, there is always room at the table.
