Testimony
Fransisco: I was doing my higher studies when a colleague named Elda Valenzuela invited me to the Youth Meeting of the Miramonte Baptist Church in San Salvador. I said that I was an atheist and that I would go to show my friend that they were wrong. I ended up accepting Christ as my savior on September 12, 1981 and was baptized a month later.
About Us
What are some of your hobbies?
I snowboard in the winter! I learned when I was 50!!!
What is an adventure you would like to go on?
I have the desire to visit an Asian country like China or Japan.
Who from the Bible would you like to meet in heaven?
I definitely want to talk to Job. I find his way of dealing with loss fascinating. I don’t understand him and I almost wish I could have a counseling class with him. There are so many people who go through situations where we don’t understand God and the pain drives us crazy. I want to know about his inner strengths, his emotional struggles, his cognitive processes, and his willpower. I want to meet him!!
