Born and raised in Cuba, he came to know the Lord as a young man and received his life call to ministry. While in Cuba, he attended Seminary and began pastoring several small country churches. In 1974 he married Debora who faithfully helped him in the ministry and cared for their three children. In 1981 he immigrated with his family to the United States where he continued serving the Lord, pastoring two Spanish speaking congregations, first in Rosemead, California and then at Iglesia Bautista Horeb in Torrance California, where he pastored for 28 years.  Shortly after retiring, and after 40 years of marriage, the Lord called Debora home to be with Him. For several years after, Yldefonso continued serving the Lord, speaking at different churches, retreats, and teaching classes. He also had the privilege of returning to Cuba twice where he ministered to the Cuban people teaching at many different churches and at a marriage retreat.

About two years ago, the Lord blessed him once again by giving him the opportunity to pastor a Spanish congregation in Murrieta, California where he now serves the Lord as a senior pastor along with his new wife, Rosie, the widow of a pastor. Yldefonso and Rosie enjoy ministering together to the Spanish community, going for long walks, and spending time with their children and grandchildren.
