Venezuelan native, Rev. Gustavo Maita, grew up in a Lutheran home. This firm foundation served as a launch pad for formal theological studies, which began at Juan de Frías Theological Institute in Venezuela and continued at Concordia Seminary in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He served his vicarage in the Dominican Republic and graduated from Concordia Seminary in Argentina.

In 2017, Pastor Maita received a Divine Call from the Lutheran Church of Venezuela to serve as an Alliance Missionary in Puerto Rico. As a church-planting pastor, he has shared preaching and teaching responsibilities at multiple church plants. Additionally, Maita is the Disaster Response Coordinator for Puerto Rico and provides long-distance disaster response consulting and in-person workshops for church leaders and laity in countries across the Caribbean. With the numerous disasters that continue to hammer Puerto Rico and the region, his disaster response skills have been a great blessing.

Pastor Maita is married to LCMS missionary Ruth Maita, a teacher who also serves in Puerto Rico. The couple has been blessed with three children, Mikhaela, Isaiah and Ivanna. Maita enjoys playing with his children, doing handyman projects, and cooking for family and friends.
