PODCAST: TONY VASQUEZ - EL SALVADOR

Tony Vasquez is our director for Latin America. He shares how he came to a living faith while he was a banker in El Salvador. He heard a man speaking from the Bible in an evangelical church, and he was captivated by the idea that the God of creation might be speaking in the Word of God. When he fell in love and got married, he and his wife, Brenda, moved to Spain as missionaries. He experienced there the great need of Western Europe, which many refer to as “the cemetery of Christianity.” Seeing in Spain the results of a church that failed to raise up the emerging generation to multiply other leaders, God has given him a passion to live out 2 Timothy 2:2, “and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful others who will be able to teach others also.” His vision is to see Latin American believers equipped and released to finish the task of bringing the Gospel to unreached people groups all around the world.
