Francisco & Martita Berrios
Missionaries in Romania
Testimony
Fransisco: I was doing my higher studies when a colleague named Elda Valenzuela invited me to the Youth Meeting of the Miramonte Baptist Church in San Salvador. I said that I was an atheist and that I would go to show my friend that they were wrong. I ended up accepting Christ as my savior on September 12, 1981 and was baptized a month later.
Ministry
We are missionaries to Romania; we arrived in 2001. Our ministry consists of leadership training, discipleship, and evangelism with an emphasis in recent years on Therapeutic Biblical Counseling (CBT). Francisco has been a missionary pastor at Hope Baptist Church in Brasov, Romania since 2010. He also has a diploma in counseling from World Mission University in Los Angeles, CA and is graduating in March 2025 with a Master of Divinity with a specialty in counseling from Grace University and Seminary in Winona, Indiana, USA.

Who from the Bible would you like to meet in Heaven?
I definitely want to talk to Job. I find his way of dealing with loss fascinating. I don’t understand him and I almost wish I could have a counseling class with him. There are so many people who go through situations where we don’t understand God and the pain drives us crazy. I want to know about his inner strengths, his emotional struggles, his cognitive processes, his willpower. I want to meet him!!
