After our
first missionary trip to Honduras in 1986, God put a hook in my heart to return
to the mission field; full time, which turned out to be in Guatemala.
I was 35 years old when we left America; I am
now 67 and have been on the field with my wife Pat, for the last 31 years.
Previous to
our departure from the United States with our two little boys in 1990, we were
pastors in Colorado and in Florida for several years. Upon arriving in Guatemala, I started our
missionary life as a teacher in a Bible School for Christian leaders
and pastors, until we decided to start our own Bible School, which
was very successful.
Along the way, we started an elementary
school for Indigenous Mayan children, which we eventually closed after
many years. In 1995, we founded the “Revival
Center” Church in Guatemala City, which is a totally Spanish speaking
church. My wife and I continue as lead
pastors in this church. We built a Ministry Center which we use today,
established two very dynamic Children’s Church programs plus several Feeding
Programs for children. As our missionary
experience grew… we adopted two Mayan children who are now grown and work with
us full time in the ministry. We took four
abandoned teenagers under our wings, who lived in our ministry center, for
several years; feeding, clothing, educating and loving them as parents.
In 2005, we
started a work in a remote desert mountainous community, reachable only by 4×4
vehicle or by hiking 3 hours up the mountain. The name of this place is called “Piedra
Ancha”. Among our many outreaches to this community, we have today an
established Feeding Program for children there.
We have been
involved in radio ministry, sharing the Word for the last 15 years, Monday
through Friday, in Spanish. We accommodate
and work with short-term missions groups from the States as well as traveling to
the United States to minister the Word of God in churches.
During our
years on the mission field, we have seen countless healing miracles, demonic
deliverances and supernatural manifestations of the Holy Spirit wherever we have
ministered.
In
conclusion, the Apostolic Call upon my life reaches out to all Hispanics, regardless of where they live in the world.
