Desi Torres
Hi, my name is Desi Torres, and my wife, Zara, and I serve as missionaries and pastors in Oaxaca, Mexico. We are leaders with Kaleo International, which is part of Iris Global, an international missions organization. Together, we have planted Kaleo Oaxaca, a local church and ministry focused on loving people, making disciples, planting churches, and sending missionaries to unreached communities, especially among the indigenous peoples of southern Mexico.
Our heart is to see lives transformed through the power and freedom found in Jesus Christ and to raise up believers who walk closely with Him and live out the Gospel in their families, communities, and nations. At Kaleo Oaxaca, we focus on building a strong culture of discipleship rooted in Scripture and led by the Holy Spirit. Through weekly gatherings, small groups, leadership training, evangelism, and community outreach, we equip men and women to grow in their faith and step into their God-given calling.
In addition to the local church, we are preparing to establish a missionary training base in an indigenous village in Oaxaca. This base will serve to train and equip both national and international missionaries, while also empowering indigenous believers to disciple their own people and help plant healthy, Spirit-filled churches in unreached areas.
Our vision is to see Oaxaca transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. One life, one family, and one community at a time.
