Cristian & Sandra Fuentes
Missionaries in Colombia
Testimony
My encounter with Jesus Christ was on May 25, 2005. As a young person, I was living a disorderly life and heard that Jesus had come to my family. He then led me to hear about Him. Upon hearing the gospel in my own personal experience, I was confronted with my wickedness and cried out to Him for salvation. After that moment my life changed and I began to walk with Jesus. He has promised to give me that eternal and abundant life. To this day, He continues to fulfill His promise despite my failures and weaknesses. His grace is great and abundant and has me serving Him alongside my wife and family.
Ministry
We are developing leaders through the Mobile Bible Institute ministry that I lead in Colombia. One of my passions is teaching how to study the scriptures using inductive Bible study methods. I thank God that through this ministry I have been able to grow in the gifts God has given me and use them to serve and build up God’s people.
Favorite Scripture
“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love that he had for us, made us alive with Christ even though we were dead in trespasses. You are saved by grace!” ~ Ephesians 2:4-5
About Us
What are some of your Hobbies?
I love to accompany my children when they play soccer. It is interesting to see how God has allowed this new stage in them because for me that stage has passed. Due to past personal experiences in soccer, I had not instilled this sport in them, but it has created a bridge of relationship between me and them and at the same time with God also through the time we share when playing, training, and spending quality time together seeing how God also works in these areas of life.
What is an adventure you would like to go on?
My wife and I would love to go to the ocean and enjoy the beach together. We ask God to be able to fulfill this desire one day.
Who from the Bible would you like to meet in Heaven?
I would like to meet Timothy. I thank God for this Bible character. The epistles that he received help me to reaffirm my calling and continue to strive in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. I would love to converse with him.
