Senior Pastor

Sergio Benavides

Iglesia Cristiana Dios Habla Hoy

Senior Pastor Sergio is already a PPM365 partner and enrolled in the program, but you can make a donation in their honor and support another church in Costa Rica.

Senior Pastor Testimony:

Pastor Sergio had a problem with his throat when he was 18 years old and cried out to God, pray God without knowing him to heal and save him, and God did a miracle that day. Everything related to the issue disappeared; my life was never the same after that day. Everything started changing for good little by little a few months after that; I felt the call to ministry. I started by helping at the church I thought would be enough, but God had a different plan for my life and my family; in a campaign, a missionary came and shared a message from God about me being a Pastor of that church, and it happened two years after that I was in the position until now that for 32 years I’ve been serving in ministry. I will never get tired of saying thanks to God.

We started in a house with high risk in different ways, like flooding and things like it, but even with all that, it was where God wanted us to be. We had several situations there, but after a year, God gave us this place where we are now! We met a Missionary Pastor, and he and his team helped us with many of our building materials and work; we sold the old house to finish the building we have now! The church at the beginning had close to 15 people, and nowadays we are 35; it Is a small community and a very catholic place in Atenas. It’s been hard to overcome that, but some community families helped us work in the new building. We are so thankful for everything God has done and see God’s hand every day in different forms. We are a church that loves God, and we want Him always to be leading us in everything we do or are planning to do; in our ministry, we are ready to love people, but at the same time, we are prepared to confront their sins and guide them to repentant and surrender their lives fully to God recognizing that he is the only that will change us for better.
