Head Pastor Testimony:
Pastor Orman was born in Bananito, Limon CR. When he was 15, he worked in the banana plantation and tried to control his life apart from God. But after five years of working, he felt the call of the Lord and accepted his need for a Savior. Since then, he has served the Lord in many ways, beginning with just simply cutting the grass at the church. Over time, he became a Bible teacher, then the Youth Pastor and Elder in the Church. He was asked to work as the leader of Iglesia Chiroles, and after a time of working and growing the membership, he was asked to start a new church in Carbon and later become the head Pastor. He is married to Nury, and they have four children.
Meet the church:
Menonita Carbon
Dios Viviente is locted in Carbon, Costa Rica. As a church, they desire to be known for their love and peace, sharing the Gospel with their community at every turn. The church aims to help anybody in need, meeting spiritual and physical needs as they are able. Sharing the love of Christ and visiting with people in the community, especially those who have disabilities and are unable to get to church physically, is near to the heart of the church body. Home groups are held throughout the week to grow deeper together and invite others into study of the scripture. From PPM teams, they learned how to do food distribution and now it is part of the culture as a church. They are focused on doing God's will starting in their own homes and then going out and practicing the same with everyone they meet. Missions are also close to the heart of the church, to go and serve just like they receive. Pastor Orman and the church body do this by caring for pastors and churches in the jungles of Talamanca.
