Pastor Testimony:
Pastor Marco tells us his testimony: “I was born in 1962 into a religious family, without a genuine relationship with God. In our home, we suffered from some vices, including alcoholism and all its consequences. In 1976, upon hearing what Christ had done for me and being invited by the person preaching, we were encouraged to receive Jesus in our hearts so that we would have a different life and, above all, have eternal life. I accepted the invitation, stood up, walked forward where indicated, and surrendered my life to Christ, recognizing him as my Lord and Savior. At that moment, I experienced a transformation in my life, and I decided to serve however I could for the Master. My wife and I have been married since 1980. We served in many capacities in the church. I became the pastor where the Lord has us until now in 1999. To this day, our children have married, and the eldest, we have a 6-year-old granddaughter; by the grace of the Lord, they are in faith and serving. In all this time, we have enjoyed the help and love of God in our lives, in our work ministerial meetings, and with great joy, I continue to renew my vow that I have consecrated to the service of the Kingdom of God.”
