Fr. Jamed Pacheco is a Panamanian priest and musician who knows only too well that evangelization doesn't have to be limited to the pulpit.

“It's the encounter with God that reveals new mediums and tools for evangelization. Nothing is excluded. Everything can be used to evangelize. The Church's identity is about bringing a message—God's message—and that's what we're doing by preaching, but also by making music.”
He's always had a passion for music, and in 2019 he finally made that a central aspect of his vocation. His proudest work is his latest single, “Guerrero,” Spanish for warrior.

“It was also a recognition and tribute to all those wonderful people who go out every day and try to give the best of themselves to keep moving forward and do what's best for them and their families, especially carrying that distinct touch of faith.”
Fr. Jamed's goal is to convey hope, faith, love, trust in God, perseverance and strength through his music.

“These elements regularly help us get through the many, often difficult, circumstances, we experience as human beings. It's so beautiful to be reminded of these elements through music, and to be reminded that they can all help transform every experience into an experience of prayer.”
Fr. Jamed hopes his music will continue to be a source of encouragement for people going through hard times, and that uplifting songs like “Guerrero” will remind them that with God, they can overcome anything.
