Ministry Description

We are serving the Lord in the Dominican Republic. We are sure that the Lord has called us to this country, to serve with other missionaries in the work that God has entrusted to us.

We are in charge of overseeing and managing the Bible Club, Connection (young adults), and Olympic (children) ministries in local churches. We also work with discipleship, evangelizing, and teaching the Word of God in the local church and in Word of Life’s CCM program. In addition, Ileana leads the finance team in the Word of Life ministry and also teaches the Word of God in the CCM program.

About Jorge

I grew up in a non-Christian family in Guatemala. As a young person, I made many poor decisions and lived without a personal relationship with God. My family experienced difficult circumstances, and for many years I struggled to find purpose and direction in life.

At the age of 22, I attended a church where I heard the Gospel clearly and placed my faith in Jesus Christ as my Savior. God began a transforming work in my life, and I was baptized and became involved in serving in my local church.

Although I faced challenges and periods of spiritual struggle, God remained faithful and continued to draw me to Himself. During a particularly difficult season of my life, I sought help from Marcelo Diez, who encouraged me to study God's Word through the Word of Life Ministry Training Center in Guatemala.

At the age of 25, I began my studies at the training center. Through the teaching of Scripture, discipleship, and God's grace, my life was transformed. During that time, God confirmed His call for me to serve Him in full-time ministry.

I completed three years of study in Guatemala, followed by a year of ministry service. God then opened the door for me to serve with Word of Life in the Dominican Republic, where I continue to serve today.

In 2019, God blessed me with a wonderful wife, and together we are raising our son, Carlos. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve the Lord as a family and to help others grow in their relationship with Christ.

About Ileana

I came to know Christ when I was 7 years old at a summer Bible school and from there everything changed for me. When I was 13 years old, a young woman took the time to invest her life in me and I began to grow spiritually and serve in my local church. At a very early age, God was already calling me towards missions and preaching His gospel to youth and children. At the age of 19, everything in my family changed and I moved with my mom and sister to new city. There I focused on my psychology studies and my work. However, I knew something was missing in me. When I finished my university career, it was nothing more than a discouragement for my life, because I felt that I wasted all those years on myself and not on the call that God had given me. So, with the guidance of the Lord and the leaders of my local church, I began to delve deeper into missions and service in my local church. God gave me the opportunity to marry someone I love and who has the same desire to serve the Lord and preach the gospel together. We currently have a two-year-old son and together we serve the Lord in this beautiful ministry.

Matthew 28:19-20 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
