Our testimonies

Jonathan's testimony

Brenda's testimony

I was raised Catholic in Detroit, Michigan, but I didn't truly understand what it meant to be saved or to have a personal relationship with Jesus. When I was about ten years old, I stopped by a corner store near my home in Southwest Detroit. A man there handed me a gospel tract and shared the message of Jesus with me. For the first time, I understood my need for a Saviour, and that day I put my faith in Christ and asked Him to save me.

I thank God for that faithful soul winner who took the time to share the Gospel. His obedience planted a seed that grew throughout my life. Even through ups and downs, God never let go of me. His grace has shaped my walk and given me a burden to share the message of salvation with others.

Now, as a missionary, I carry that same desire to reach the lost — just as someone once reached me. I praise the Lord for His love, His mercy, and the privilege of serving Him by sharing the Gospel.

I was born and raised in León, Guanajuato, with a desire to know God, but I could never find the answers I sought. At 20, I moved to the United States, where I met my wife. She shared the Gospel with me and explained that salvation is a free gift through Jesus Christ. At first, I couldn't understand how something so important could be freely given — I believed I had to earn my way to heaven.

But one day, God opened my eyes. I realized I was a sinner in need of a Saviour, and that Jesus had already paid the price for my sins. I called on the Lord and received Christ as my Saviour, and my life was forever changed.

As I grew in my faith, God gave me a burden to share the Gospel. We began by witnessing to family, friends, and our community. I later studied at the Instituto Bíblico Trinidad in Arlington, Texas, to prepare for ministry. Today, as a missionary, I am committed to reaching others with the same life-changing message that transformed me. I praise the Lord for His grace and the gift of eternal life.
