| Alberto and Ashley Testimony |
|
I was born in Spain on September 2, 1986. At the age of six during a Vacation Bible School I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior. At the age of eleven my family and I moved to the United States where my father became the pastor of the spanish ministry at Madison Baptist Church. During my teen years the Lord began to burden me about the misison field and more specificallly about Spain. I surrendered to God and decided to go wherever He would have me to go. I graduated from the Madison Baptist Academy in the year of 2004. God
led me to go to Crown College where I spent two years, then I finished
my studies at Southeastern Fundamental Baptist College (SFBC). I
graduated from SFBC in May of 2008. The Lord has used both places to
prepare me for the ministry. During my time in College, I have been
blessed to work under my dad. He has given me the opportunity to serve
in several areas of the Spanish ministry: Children's ministry, Youth
ministry, Music ministry, Visitation ministry and many other areas. Ashley and I met in Madison Baptist Academy when we were very young; we were actually High School sweethearts. Even as teenagers we knew where God had called us and strived for that goal. After 5 years, God allowed us to get married on August 3rd, 2007. A year later we went to Spain to help missionaries. We were in Granada for three months helping the Stark family. After that we spent nine months at the church where I got saved. During the year in Spain we were able to see people come to know Jesus Christ as their personal savior and also got to experience the mission field first hand. Our son Sergio was also born in Spain and now we are expecting a baby in April. We praise God for the opportunity to seve Him! |
