Featured Blog: Jhonatan Garrido-Lecca
In this featured blog, I’d like to highlight some of the excellent work my brother Jhonatan has been doing through his website, garridolecca.github.io. My hope is that you will be encouraged and blessed by his efforts, particularly his desire to help readers visualize key aspects of Scripture and better understand the rich history of the Particular Baptists.
“As someone passionate about Scripture and technology, I wanted to create something that would help believers engage with God’s Word in a deeper, more visual way. The result is a collection of four free interactive Biblical atlases, each one mapping the geography behind the text so readers can see where the stories of Scripture actually unfolded.
https://garridolecca.github.io/pauls-journeys/ traces the apostle Paul’s missionary travels across the Mediterranean. Users can follow each journey individually Journey 1, 2, 3, and the voyage to Rome, or view them all at once. Each stop is linked to the relevant Scripture passages, so you can read alongside the map.
https://garridolecca.github.io/life-of-jesus/ maps the events of Christ’s earthly ministry from the Gospels. You can filter by phase, Birth, Early Galilee, Passion,and walk through the locations where Jesus taught, healed, and fulfilled His mission.
https://garridolecca.github.io/old-testament-atlas/ covers all 39 books, letting users explore cities and regions where biblical events took place. You can browse by category (Law, History, Wisdom, Major Prophets, Minor Prophets) or search for a specific city to discover every biblical event connected to it.
https://garridolecca.github.io/1689-heritage-trail/ is a bit different, it maps the history of the Particular Baptists, tracing their story through four eras: Origins, Persecution, Toleration, and Mission. It includes biographical profiles of key figures and a timeline to explore events geographically and chronologically. All four apps are bilingual (English and Spanish), completely free, and designed to be accessible to anyone, whether for personal study, family devotions, Sunday school, or sermon preparation.
My hope is that these tools help brothers and sisters around the world connect more deeply with the places, people, and events of Scripture and church history.”
