== Biography == Jesús Adrián Romero studied the Bible in his course studies, and after was assigned to be a pastor for a 16-year period. Over a span of three years, he achieved his work of spiritual guidance in the congregation of the Church of God, in Van Nuys, California, while also attending seminary.

Later, he founded the Christian community (of a charismatic tendency): “Amistad y Vida” (Friendship and Life) in Agua Prieta, Sonora. Now, Amistad y Vida is under the direction of Pastor Omar Molina. Jesús Adrián was also the assistant pastor in Vino Nuevo in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, for four years, under the direction of Pastor Victor Richards, where he oversaw the cell groups and directed one of the congregation’s worship groups. For three years, he was the director of the worship group De Hombre a Hombre (From a Man to Man) and he traveled with them across Mexico, directing the congregations’ praises “from man to man”.

According to Romero, after having been praying for a few years and considering other cities in the United States, Jesús Adrián and Pecos Romero decided that Phoenix, Arizona was the place that God wanted them to start a new congregation and present their music. In August of 2007, Jesús Adrián and his family moved to Phoenix, Arizona to check out the city and plan the beginning of Vástago Epicentro (Epicenter Stem). After their move, about 20 families moved from other cities in the United States and Mexico to support them in their vision.

He and his wife, Pecos, have three children: Jaanai, Melissa, and Adrián Roberto. Two of them are in the ministry of music.
