Get to Know Nati Patiño

Ministry Description

I will be serving through the Launch Internship with Word of Life while serving at the local church Coronado Bible Church. My ministry will include helping disciple teens and children through the youth group, assisting with hosting short-term missions teams from the United States, participating in evangelism outreach events, helping with Gospel translations, and serving in both Spanish and English camps. My goal is to share the Gospel, encourage others in their faith, and serve wherever God opens opportunities.

About Nati

Growing up in Panama, I was able to see firsthand the deep need people have for Jesus and for the truth of the Gospel. Even at a young age, I saw brokenness, hopelessness, and people searching for something to satisfy them apart from God. Although I knew about God, there came a point in my life when I realized that knowing about Him was not the same as truly knowing Him personally. I understood that I was a sinner in need of salvation and that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again to save me. By God’s grace, I put my faith in Christ alone for salvation, and He completely changed my life.
Since then, God has continued to grow my faith and draw me closer to Him. As I reflected on my childhood and the people I grew up around in Panama, God placed a burden on my heart for ministry and missions. Seeing the spiritual need around me gave me a passion to share the Gospel and point others to the hope and truth found only in Jesus Christ. I believe God has called me into ministry to serve Him faithfully, proclaim His Word, and help others come to know Him personally just as I have.

" Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. " - Proverbs 3:5-6
