Pastor Ric became the Lead Pastor of Life Connection Church Orlando on January 1, 2020 where he is again excited to see how God will move. He has a deep passion for starting and/or strengthening churches that will translate to congregation multiplication.

Faith Elbo

Youth Pastor


Faith lived in California for 15 years where she was involved in Bonita Vista Church when the Lord called her family to live in Orlando, Florida in 2017. It was here in Orlando where she really began to understand the workings of God in her life. Though she has an extensive history of music and is part of the Worship Team, the Lord opened her eyes to see that the Youth are our future leaders and they must be reached. This led her to become very passionate about reaching more Youth and she believes that it is important for them to understand not only the Cross, but also the realities of Jesus throughout their everyday life. 


Alongside her work here at LCC Orlando,  Faith is currently an active student pursuing her studies at a local university.

Ran Perez

Pastor, Iglesia Conexión de Vida Orlando (LCCO Spanish Service)

Pastor Ranledis (Ran) Perez arrived in the United States of America in 2012 from Cuba, a country where he developed his ministry as a Pastor, Missionary, and Evangelist.

He was born on October 17, 1982, in Camagüey, Cuba. Of humble origins, the son of workers Nelvis González and Juan Pérez, he met the Lord at the age of 10 through a missionary who came to his town since there was no Church where he lived. This experience marked his life forever.

At the age of 13, he was sent to study in the city of Camagüey, where he was able to congregate in the Assemblies of God Pentecostal Church. At age 17, he began serving full time as an assistant pastor. At 20, he married his wife, Pastor Marilee M. Basulto, who served in the Methodist Church. After their marriage, they begin to work with the Methodist Church, where they remained until 2012.

In the years following their marriage, the Pérez spouses founded several rural churches, evangelizing fields and cities where the gospel had not reached.

- 2000-2003 Leader of the Methodist Church in Cuba.
- 2003-2004 Founder of the "Rosa de Sarón" Methodist Church in Clavellinas, Camagüey, Cuba.
- In 2004 he graduated from Vision International University, Romona, California, US.
- 2006-2011 Pastor and founder of the "Jardin de Edén" Methodist Church, Camagüey, Cuba.
- In 2007, he graduated with a master's degree in theology from Miami International Seminary.
- In 2011 he was appointed a priest of the Free Methodist Church.
- In that same year, 2011, he graduated with a bachelor's degree in theology from the Higher Institute of Theological Training of the Dominican Free Methodist Church Inc.
- 2013-2019 Missionary.
- 2019-2021 Pastor of Hope for Life Center Wesleyan Church, Orlando, Florida.

He is currently planting a new Church in the city of Orlando, together with Life Connection Church Orlando, without abandoning the missions he and his wife have established and nurtured for many years.
