Ministry Description

To connect with people of all ages and in diverse contexts, we use creative games as a powerful tool to share the gospel in universities, schools, military camps, squares, and other public places. Through dynamic activities, we open doors to present the message of salvation in an engaging and meaningful way. We organize evangelistic outreaches throughout the year and collaborate with local churches to strengthen their outreach and encourage their members to become actively involved in the mission.

Every week we work the students. I have the privilege of discipling a few young guys each year, guiding them in their walk with Jesus and helping them deepen their faith. My hope is that each young man I disciple will grow in their personal walk with the Lord, and have a deep desire to then disciple others.

Carpentry Area
Purpose: To provide a technical training class so the student may use their skill as a trade or to serve the Lord.

Many times in carpentry class we make things for the events, conferences, and special games for our ministry activities.

I was privileged to learn Quechua as a young boy, so that allows me to share the gospel, and teach the Bible in each community's native language.

About Alberto

“This is my story.”
I was born in Ascanty, in the province of Nor Chichas, Potosí. I grew up in a Christian family and, from childhood, I was taught biblical teachings and values. My father taught me the first verse I memorized: (2 Timothy 3:15).
He was also my first spiritual teacher. When I was 13 and 14 years old, he used to wake me up at 3 a.m. to talk to me. At first, he taught me about the Bible, then he reminded me of the plan of salvation, and finally he gave me advice for everyday life. Many times he would say firmly, “Read the Bible.” But I preferred to read my school books, not understanding that what he was sowing in me was much more valuable than any knowledge.
At age 15, I left my parents' house with my younger brother. Those were difficult years, during which I had to take on the role of father to him. Together we worked and studied until we finished high school. Being far from home, I often remembered my father's teachings. Although I didn't appreciate it at the time, his words stayed with me. When I came of age, I wanted to travel without restrictions and find a job. But one day, unexpectedly, I became seriously ill: I couldn't move my hands or feet. Fear overwhelmed me, and in the midst of my pain, my father's words and his teachings about living according to biblical principles, which I had heard so many times, came back to me.
That illness forced me to return to my parents' home. For three years I visited doctors and hospitals, but no one could give me a clear diagnosis. My heart was filled with frustration. On more than one occasion, I thought I had disappointed my father, who had taught me so much. But God was not done with me yet. It was at a youth camp in July 2010 that I accepted Christ as my personal savior. Although I had already heard the gospel, that night I understood the reality of my condition, of hell, and the urgency of salvation. With tears in my eyes, I asked the preacher, “What must I do to be saved?” That night, on July 12, 2010, I gave my life to Christ.
At church, I began serving with the children. Little by little, we grew in number through Bible teachings, snacks, and activities. God began to show me something that transformed my heart: I had a deep desire to know and study His Word and dedicate my life to Him. Over time, I confirmed that calling. Despite my health limitations, I made the decision to enroll in the Palabra de Vida Bible institute. My dad supported me and gave me words of encouragement. And it was there that God strengthened me, comforted me, prepared me, and restored me.
Today, looking back, I can see how every step—my childhood, my failures, my illness, my repentance, my calling—was part of God's perfect plan. He corrected me as a Father, lifted me up with mercy, and gave me the privilege of honoring His name because His mercy endures forever.
My story is a testimony to His grace. If I have learned anything, it is this: God is never wrong, and His will is always good, pleasing, and perfect.
(2 Corinthians 9:14).

2 Thessalonians 3:1 "Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:"
