Alex Leal

Alejandro Danilo Leal, better known as Alex, was born in Quilpué, Chile on November 16, 1974 and immigrated to the United States a few days before his second birthday. While visiting his family in Weehawken, NJ, his paternal grandmother encouraged his mother to find a good church where she could raise up her children in the fear and knowledge of the Lord. Thanks to the evangelistic outreach of Michael Calabrese, at a nearby park in Union City, NJ his family wound up attending Bethel Gospel Chapel.

On June 7, 2008 Alex took a leap of faith and began to serve the Lord full time. He was later commended to the ministry by both Bethel Gospel Chapel in Union City and Bethany Chapel in Yonkers, NY, where he was also in fellowship before and during the Pandemic. Around 2020 Alex also returned to secular employment, following his father’s diagnosis of Parkinson and Lewy body dementia. Eventually, in August 2020 he moved to Wilmington, DE, where he is in fellowship at Brandywine Bible Chapel and maintains an active itinerate speaking ministry both at home and abroad.
