 "the gift of salvation" when Pastor came to know Jesus as his Savior even though he had never in his life entered a church building. It was along the banks of a river where 2 Christian brothers testified and led him in prayer to Christ. After only two years of being a Christian he became a deacon in his church.After five years of faithfully serving his church and finishing bible school, he started feeling a call to the rural area of Cruz del Valle a small village 30 minutes from his home.  An area with no gospel witness. Pastor took a leap of faith and started having services in a non believers home. Since that day, four years later, the church has grown from 0 to 60 in attendance. Pastor says, “it’s amazing God would show me my need for a Savior and have mercy on me, now I want to show this same mercy to every person in my village. "By faith we have made it this far, and by faith God will lead us on".

    Even though Pastor an area plagued by extreme poverty they have managed to buy land and start the beginning phases of construction. Cruz del Valle is a rural farming area three hours from Guatemala City. The Church currently has 60 people meeting in a tent. The goal is to build a church for 200 people in this small village.
