Emanuel Ornelas is a Christian educator, biblical scholar, and vocational missionary whose work brings ancient truth to life through intentional service and formative experiences. His training includes focused study in behavioral psychology, biblical theology, peacemaking, and cross-cultural ministry. These disciplines inform a perspective forged through Scripture, and a life lived across borders. As a husband and father, his calling unfolds through discipleship, and spiritual formation. A lifelong student of culture and the human spirit, his perspective has been shaped by life across many lands, from the diverse states of the U.S. to Taiwan, Papua New Guinea, and Palestine. Navigating the in-between as a Mexican American, ni de aquí, ni de allá, he carries the perspective of a foreigner in every land, knowing that his true citizenship is elsewhere. This pilgrim identity compels him to live intentionally and missionally in every context. His writing rises from the quiet spaces where theology, anthropology, and dreams converge, guided by a spirit of exploration rather than explanation.
