About Lucas

My name is Lucas Oviedo. I was born in Marcos Paz, Buenos Aires. I grew up in a non-practicing Catholic family, with divorced parents, two sisters, and a stepsister. At the age of 11, my mom took me to a Christian church in Haedo. There, the youth leader told me about Christ. I only knew the image of a crucified Christ, but I had never understood His purpose. That day I realized that Christ died for me, for the forgiveness of my sins, and I accepted Him as my Savior. I began attending church regularly, was discipled, and got baptized.

At 13, I attended a Word of Life camp. In 2011, after finishing high school, I began studying Multimedia Design. In the summer of 2012, I served as a camp staff member, where I was assigned to the multimedia area. There I discovered how God could use my talents for His work, and I began considering studying at the Bible Institute.

In 2015, I started my studies at the Institute. In 2017, I finished the third year, and in 2018 I served as a staff member in multimedia and student life. In 2019, I completed the fourth year with a clear desire to become a missionary. When the pandemic hit in 2020, I decided to stay and continue serving in ministry. That year, I was part of the creation of the Online Institute, and I also met Ingrid, who is now my wife.

During our courtship in 2021, we both did IPEM with the desire to serve as missionaries at Word of Life Argentina. In 2022, we got married and joined the team. By God’s grace, today we serve full-time: Ingrid as an English teacher at the School, and I as part of the Productions team, in charge of the multimedia area.

Mi nombre es Lucas Oviedo, nací en Marcos Paz, Buenos Aires. Crecí en una familia católica no practicante, con padres separados, dos hermanas y una hermanastra. A los 11 años, mi mamá me llevó a una iglesia cristiana en Haedo. Allí, el líder de jóvenes me habló de Cristo. Yo solo conocía la imagen de un Cristo crucificado, pero nunca había entendido su propósito. Ese día comprendí que Cristo murió por mí, para el perdón de mis pecados, y lo acepté como mi Salvador. Comencé a congregarme, fui discipulado y me bauticé.

A los 13 años asistí a un campamento de Palabra de Vida. En 2011, al terminar la secundaria, comencé la carrera de Diseño Multimedial. En el verano de 2012 serví como equipante en el campamento, donde me asignaron el área de multimedia. Allí descubrí cómo Dios podía usar mis talentos para Su obra, y empecé a considerar estudiar en el Instituto Bíblico.

En 2015 comencé mis estudios en el Instituto. En 2017 finalicé el tercer año y en 2018 estuve sirviendo como colaborador en multimedia y en el área de vida. En 2019 cursé el cuarto año, con el deseo claro de ser misionero. Cuando llegó la pandemia en 2020, decidí quedarme sirviendo en el ministerio. Ese año participé en la formación del Instituto Online, y también conocí a quien hoy es mi esposa, Ingrid.

Durante nuestro noviazgo, en 2021, ambos hicimos el IPEM con el deseo de servir como misioneros en Palabra de Vida Argentina. En 2022 nos casamos y comenzamos a formar parte del equipo. Por la gracia de Dios, hoy servimos a tiempo completo: Ingrid como profesora de inglés en la Escuela, y yo en el equipo de Producciones, encargado del área de multimedia.

About Ingrid

My name is Ingrid. I was born in Córdoba and came to know Christ at the age of 22. I was the first in my family to give my life to Him, which was not easy, because they did not accept my change. However, I wanted to show them with my life that Christ had transformed me. God showed me that He had a plan, a purpose, and a hope for me as well. I decided to follow Him, leaving many things behind and accepting His call to serve Him. I was discipled, got baptized, and began serving in my local church while studying to become an English teacher—only by His grace.

In 2015, I dedicated my life to the Lord at the Word of Life Adventure camp. With a deep thirst to know much more about who God is and to study His Word, I entered the Bible Institute. There, I studied for three years and served in different ministries, especially at the Christian Missionary School teaching English. Later on, I also collaborated in the academic department of the Institute (Study), both in person and online. Meanwhile, God was working and blessing my family from afar.

During the pandemic, God gave me the undeserved gift of meeting Lucas Oviedo, who is now my husband. We got married in 2022, and since then we have been serving together as full-time missionaries.

Mi nombre es Ingrid. Nací en Córdoba y conocí a Cristo a los 22 años. Fui la primera en mi familia en entregarle mi vida, lo cual no fue fácil, porque no aceptaban mi cambio. Sin embargo, quería mostrarles con mi vida que Cristo me había transformado. Dios me mostró que tenía un plan, un propósito y una esperanza también para mí. Decidí seguirle, dejando atrás muchas cosas, y aceptando su llamado de servirle. Hice el discipulado, me bauticé y comencé a servir en mi iglesia local mientras estudiaba el Profesorado de Inglés solo por su gracia.

En 2015 me consagré al Señor en el campamento Aventura de Palabra de Vida. Con una gran sed de conocer mucho más acerca de quién era Dios y estudiar Su Palabra, ingresé al Instituto Bíblico. Allí cursé tres años y serví en distintos ministerios, especialmente en la Escuela Cristiana Misionera enseñando inglés. Más adelante, también colaboré en el área académica del Instituto (Estudio), tanto presencial como online. Mientras, Dios se encargaba de obrar y bendecir a mi familia, a la distancia.

Durante la pandemia Dios me dio el regalo inmerecido de conocer a Lucas Oviedo, quien hoy es mi esposo. Nos casamos en 2022 y desde entonces estamos sirviendo juntos como misioneros a tiempo completo.
