I was born in a Catholic family that was addicted to alcohol and very attached to pagan traditions.  I was born into deep poverty, and when I was 6 years old my father died because of alcoholism.  My mother, a struggling widow, also followed the pathway of alcoholism, and I spent a large part of my childhood living with my grandmother.  But thanks to God an evangelist visited our family.  Without knowing how to read, my mother accepted Christ, and so did my grandmother.  Because I was so young, my spiritual growth was slow, but I liked singing the hymns and praying.  The Christian brothers in the church helped lead me to Christ and at nineteen years old I got baptized.  I wanted to become a servant of Christ.  Now, at 46 years old, I'm living in Christ's service, with my family.  The scripture

Scripture for my life is: "Go and preach the Gospel to all creation".  May God's will be done in my life and not my own!
