Enrique Hernandez-Vigil
Associate Director of Global Formation for Spanish Speaking Students
enrique.hernandez@asburyseminary.eduPastor Enrique is an elder in the MidSouth Annual Conference of the Global Methodist Church. He was born and raised in Mexico City in his family’s tradition. Upon hearing the gospel at 16 years of age, he was transformed by a personal relationship with God through Jesus. God called him later that year to pray for the Turks. Pastor Enrique trained for the next six years to be an ESL teacher and ultimately moved to Turkey, which served as a launching pad for ministering to Muslim communities across Europe. After moving back to Mexico, Pastor Enrique worked as a speaker and missions mobilizer. He received his Bachelor in Theology from Seminario Metodista Juan Wesley during this time and served as part of the line-up team preparing for the arrival of the missionary ship Logos2. He was later invited to be the Methodist Bishop’s missions adviser and to serve as a pastor. His work supported the adoption of the Pame del Norte (Xi’yiui) ethnic group, with whom the Mexican Methodist Church now has four indigenous churches. He and his family were later sent as missionaries to work among the Hispanic Community in Middle Tennessee. He received a Master of Arts in Missions from the Briercrest Seminary Secunderrabad Campus in India during this time, and for many years, he has served as a pastor in English speaking churches in Tennessee and Kentucky. Prior to accepting his role with Global Formation, he worked nearly three years with the Asbury Latino Center as a recruiter and as an adjunct professor for the LMFP out of the Orlando Campus. Pastor Enrique is excited about the opportunity to work in discipleship and pastoral care for Asbury’s bilingual students. He is married and has two daughters and a son-in-law.
Aisa Madjido Songo
Coordinator of Global Formation
Born and raised in the Republic of Central Africa to a Muslim family, Aisa gave her life to the Lord in July of 2017. She moved to the US in 2008 where she pursued her higher education degrees in accounting. While studying for a public accountancy certification, the Lord asked her to lay it down and moved to Orlando, FL, where she attended a ministry school for three years at her local church and is now part of the kids ministry team. Aisa has experienced the deep love of Christ, and her passion is to reveal the redeeming and healing power of this love to those around her. That passion ultimately led her to Asbury Theological Seminary, where she is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Mental health Counseling with a concentration in marriage and family. She enjoys working with both international and national students because it allows her to hear about the amazing things that the Lord is doing throughout the world and gives her opportunities to remind students that their testimonies glorify Christ in the process.
