Josue Santiago came to know the Lord at the age of fourteen. Sometime after becoming a Christian, he had a desire to preach the gospel. Given a bullhorn by his pastor he started to evangelize on street corners and sharing the gospel with others.
After graduating from high school Josue met his wife Diana at Faithworld Family Church and they soon were married on May 2002. He later joined the United States Marine Corps and served oversees in combat zones for 6 years.
Diana was born and raised in Chicago where she came to know the Lord at the age of eighteen. Her intense love for people and desire to share God's word prompted her to start organizing a street outreach ministry by using hip-hop music. In 2002, she married her Josue.
Josue and Diana currently oversee the New Believers and Affirming Ministries. Pastor Josue is currently working towards a Bachelors degree in biblical studies from the School of Urban Missions. Pastors Josue and Diana live in the Chicago along with their two children Jonathan and Elisa Santiago.
