"I think the mission of the church is to show the person of Jesus to every living being," Eduardo shares. "I confess that in my situation it was not so simple to say yes. I had a good job, a good house and a great family and I leave it all behind for three years. By faith I am answering this call and I know God will supply all my needs."
