About Emmanuel

I’m from Buenos Aires, Argentina. When I was 11, I watched a Christian movie with my mom, and that night God used it to open my eyes. I realized the sin in my heart, repented, and trusted Jesus as my Savior.

My life changed—I was full of joy, going to church and growing in my faith. A year later I was baptized and began serving in ministry. But as my parents drifted from God, I started struggling too. I kept going to church, yet my heart was divided between God and the world.

Everything changed when my church started a youth program called Bible Club, through Word of Life Argentina. God used those young leaders to show me His love in a real and personal way. Through camps and ministry, He began drawing me back to Himself.

In 2010, at a Word of Life camp, God spoke to my heart through Proverbs 23:26: “My son, give me your heart.” I knew it was time for a radical change. I surrendered completely and decided to put God first. That same year, I left everything in Buenos Aires to attend the Word of Life Bible Institute.

During those three years, God shaped my life through His Word, ministry, and community. I discovered His heart for the lost and His call for me to reach the next generation. Looking back, I can see His hand guiding, protecting, and providing every step of the way.

So I will very gladly spend for you everything I have and expend myself as well. If I love you more, will you love me less? 2 Corinthians12:15
