Luis Capote – Public Relations / Broadcasting Coordinator
Luis Capote is a native of Cuba. He left communist Cuba with his immediate family for Costa Rica, then later moved to Canada. He’s been married for 31 years to the love of his life, Xenia, and they have one daughter who is teaching in Colorado.
Luis’ life revolves around ministry, for several years with the youth, either teaching Sabbath School classes or co-directing the Pathfinder Club. His latest experience was with youth camps at Camp Woody Acres. Luis finds working with the youth is a rewarding experience. He has also enjoyed preaching in different churches, but his favourite ministry is Prison Ministries.
Radio has always been a passion for Luis. The opportunities to reach individuals who are thirsting for God are exciting! He looks forward to praying with our listeners, as prayer is the most rewarding part of his life.
Psalms 91:1 is Luis’ favourite Bible verse. “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust’”. Luis says: “I have found that if I am in His shelter, He never leaves me. Some of our listeners may be having a difficult time right now. This verse, I hope, will give them the encouragement needed to trust in God.”
Mark Worden – Production / Communications Director
Mark is originally from Saint John, New Brunswick. He moved to Newfoundland in 1992 after meeting his wife, Sharon. They have three daughters.
Mark began working at VOAR in 2003 and has been privileged to see the station grow significantly since then. He feels blessed to be a part of the Lighthouse FM team and its ministry and be able to share the Gospel over the airwaves. He is excited to see what God has in store for this radio station as the Second Coming of Jesus draws near.
Nancy Kroeker – Senior Accountant
Nancy joined our station family during the summer of 2022. Not only will you hear her voice when you call, but you may also hear her over the airwaves from time to time. If you’re wondering why her last name sounds familiar, it’s because her husband, Kevin, was our Music Director several years ago.
Nancy is a mom of three boys, so she’s a bit busy most of the time. When she’s not in the office, you’ll find her at home in the country, preferably sitting by a good bonfire, or on her knees in the family garden. One of her favorite passions is the sport of powerlifting. She has given many years of dedication to the sport and is a national competitor on the Canadian stage, competing against the best of the best.
Nancy has dedicated her life to Jesus. In 2004, she and her husband were baptized and keep God as the foundation in their marriage. They also raise their boys with these values and the love of Jesus, enjoying a beautiful life under His guidance and teachings. Nancy is excited to be a part of our team and is looking forward to hearing from our listeners.
Monicke Rodrigues – Accounting Assistant
I am originally from Brazil, and I came to Canada two years ago to complete a Certificate in Office Administration at the College of the North Atlantic in Newfoundland. In addition, I completed a Business Diploma in Australia, where I had the privilege of working in many different fields of administration.
I studied for a Bachelor of Accounting at Avantis University for three years in my home country. This allowed me to work as a treasurer and bank teller in the banking sector. I also had the opportunity to open an English language school, and part of my duties in the company were as an administrator and bookkeeper.
I have a beautiful family that has supported me here in Canada. Edmar Rodrigues, also Brazilian, is a wonderful husband and father; he is an active member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in St. John’s. Together, we have our daughter Alice. She was born in Brazil and is now seven years old.
We love to go to church every Sabbath, and Alice enjoys attending the Children’s Sabbath school classes, where I’m the teacher, and she is my assistant.
