About Me

Carmelo Alicea was born and raised on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. In 2012, his ministry began with the opening of a small church in Ponce, PR. It was during this time, as a newly ordained pastor, he found himself in the struggle of his life—losing his job and having to bear the weight of a family and a ministry.

Through the grace of God and his family support, he persevered. Now, he takes his ministry to the next level as a preacher, traveling to places like Costa Rica, Ohio, the Dominican Republic, and various cities in Florida to bring the Word of God to others.

He has been a Christian for over 30 years and has a deep passion for God’s Word and His kingdom. He is also a mentor in the area of church growth and organizational structure and a member of the Apostolic Group of Pastors in Puerto Rico.

In 2016, he released his first book, Entregando El Corazón, in gratitude for all that God has done in his life and to reach out to others everywhere. This book, God’s Purpose Demands Persistence, is dedicated to those who are facing life challenges and severe trials to let them know that they too can persevere in the midst of affliction and turmoil to stand on the edge of glory.

Carmelo Alicea has been married to his wife Anna Alicea for 33 years, and they have two beautiful children.
