When Javier Chavez came to the United States to pursue a college education in 1995, the then-18-year-old never dreamed he’d become a pastor. Born and raised in Peru, Chavez is now pastor at Amistad Cristiana, a new Hispanic church in Gainesville. Amistad Cristiana became an autonomous church in July 2016.
