Mission Development Director: Pastor Felipe
Pastor Felipe first encountered HCHC during the April 2023 Foot Washing event HCHC hosted at the Courtyard Homeless Resource Center. Upon learning about HCHC's mission and outreach opportunities, he immediately asked "How can I be a part of this?" Outreach is very close to Pastor Felipe's heart and he is very passionate about sharing the Gospel with anyone who wants and needs to hear it. He believes that people are seeking answers and that Jesus is the one who can help each of us. Pastor Felipe also recognizes the great need for healthcare and that not everyone can afford it. He is happy to be part of a clinic that offers healthcare services to everyone. Pastor Felipe has been a part of the North Las Vegas community for 20 years and it gives him great satisfaction to be able to give back.
Pastor Felipe has been a pastor with Hope Church in Las Vegas for the last 19 years. He also helped establish and served as the pastor of a small mission church in Mesquite, Nevada, and another one in St. George, Utah along with his wife Elizabeth. As a senior pastor, he has had the opportunity to counsel people through diverse situations and problems. Pastor Felipe and his wife work very closely with young people and give counsel when needed as facing the world without guidance can be difficult without support.
Pastor Felipe was born in Mexico and migrated to the United States at the age of 9. As a child, he had to overcome the fear of learning a new language (English being his second!) and a new culture. He enjoys traveling to Ensenada, Baja California in Mexico. He also enjoys fishing, spending time with his family, and traveling with his wife who is an awesome travel companion!
Pastor Felipe and his wife have been married for 25 years and he couldn’t have asked for a better life partner. Together they have three children, Felipe Jr., Matthew and Elizabeth Ludim. God also gave them a bonus son named Nicolas, who has been part of the family for the last three years. Pastor Felipe and his wife enjoy each child and love them unconditionally.
Pastor Felipe feels very honored to be a part of HCHC. He thanks God for the opportunity to be able to serve our community through the ministry of HCHC at this time. He looks forward to all opportunities and moments of sharing God with others.

Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
James 5:14
