Missions Pastoral Team

Our pastors ministering abroad

Our Missions Pastors are team members who have followed the call of God to minister on the mission field overseas. Jacob’s Well supports our Missions Pastors with our prayers and finances, as they are still members of our team, even if separated for a time.

Desi Lugo

Desi Lugo joined the Jacob's Well team in July of 2017. Since 2003 he has gained ministry experience in a variety of contexts and churches from coast to coast (literally – he started in California, then Missouri, and now in Delaware). He enjoys teaching the scriptures, helping believers develop into disciples, and encouraging people to find their ministry in the body of Christ. He has a gift for taking complex topics and making them easy to understand. He is married to Rachel Lugo, who daily challenges him and makes his life fun and interesting. This ministry family recently completed two years of missions work in the island nation of Vanuatu and are now scheduled to relocate to New Zealand in 2026.

Rachel Lugo

Rachel Lugo joined in the Jacob's Well team in July of 2017. From coast to coast there are many people who have enjoyed her teaching, hospitality, and humor. She has a passion for all things in God’s kingdom especially teaching, writing, and children’s ministry. Her energy and humor make her one of the fun people in the room, while her creativity is a gift to her teammates. She is so thankful to wake up every day married to Desi Lugo. The best parts of Rachel are better because of his involvement. She was busy doing something else, so she let Desi write this bio, but we are sure she fully endorses these comments. Desi and Rachal along with two of their children recently completed two years of missions work in the island nation of Vanuatu and are now scheduled to relocate to New Zealand in 2026.
