Briefly describe your testimony of coming to Christ…
I was blessed to be born in a Christian home where both of my parents guided me to learn more about the Word and Jesus. But it wasn’t until I was 20 years old when I confessed Jesus Christ as my savior and also got baptized. I remember it was Rev Samuel Otero who was preaching and when the calling was made I felt the need in my heart to walk up front. God is good!
Briefly describe your understanding of God’s calling on your life…
When I was 15 years old a big passion for music was born in me. But it wasn’t until 2007 when a prophetic word changed my life and my calling was confirmed. Since that day I have been serving the Lord through music, leading others to worship and from there one thing led to another. Through time I discovered my passion to teach and eventually to preach the gospel. Till this day my passion is to lead others to worship, teach and preach the gospel.
How did you come to the Free Methodist Church?
In 2013 I was in the process of searching for a new Church where I could serve. That same year through a conversation with Pastors Arnaldo and Marisol Soto they introduced me to the FMC and also extended an invitation to their church. Since then I have been fully committed to the FMC.
