Brian Castro
Brian Castro (1987 - Present) is a born-again believer that has chosen the career path of a multi-occupational missionary. He was a part of Sam Houston State University's Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship from 2006-2009. Castro has positively impacted the lives of many people that have come in contact with him.

Early Background
Castro is of Mexican ancestory, but was born in Houston, Texas in 1987. Brian was raised amongst a typical American, well-moraled, church-attending family. The focus of his personal interests progressively narrowed in on his increasing love for the sport of baseball. Although his love of the sport will most likely never diminish, he only continued actively participating in the sport through his entire High School career.

College Years
Brian Castro was heavily interested in the field of Criminal Justice so the logical and locational-minded choice was Sam Houston State University which is ranked in the top 5 best Criminal Justice departments in the nation, and not father than 60 miles from his parent's Houston home. Castro met some individuals that were deeply involved in Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship to include, but not limited to: Stephen Briseno, Brandon Foote ,, and Alex Rodriguez ,. Castro quickly saw his new friends' integration point being Jesus Christ. The Jesus these men spoke of and depicted via their daily lives did not match the image Castro had been ingrained with by his interactions with the Protestant and  Catholic Church. He was then Baptized and enrolled in the 2007 Leadership Training Course sponsered by Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship, which is a class of both young men and women that have an interest in putting the methods of Jesus Christ into action, i.e. Disciplesip, Agape-Love (Unselfishly choosing for the highest good of another and God's Kingdom ), Fellowship. Castro lead a Small Group the following semester at Sam Houston consisting of some freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. Castro's informal syllubus consisted of a weekly meeting for the duration of the school year, along with unscheduled meetings between himself and members of the Small Group one on one. Throughout the school year, Castro taught on topics such as Prayer, Evangelism, The Holy Spirit, and Lordship. Castro continued leading a small group of different individuals until he graduated in 2009.

Post-College Pursuits
Castro is currently finishing up a year long trip in an undisclosed country with Alex Rodriguez and other born-again believers. Although his original interest was baseball and his academic pursuits were Criminal Justice; Castro's future plans are to continue finding ways to best serve his fellow Christians, reach the lost and follow the Will of God. He has put his life's purpose in what he has found to have the most intrinsic value.
