Location: Bible Institute

I am the father of 2 children but I had not lived with my family for 6 or 7 years. I was living a life of addiction and alcoholism in the city of Ensenada. My life was miserable. My mother is a Christian and I remember she use to take me to church when I was little. Later and every time she would see me she would tell me: Son, God is waiting for you. He is the only one that can change your life. My children would also ask: Will you never change dad? My answer to both questions always was: I think I am going to die as I am now. I thought that because I had been living like that since I was 13 years old. In June 2019 somebody told me about a place called Rancho de Cristo in Camalu. The same month I decided to come and God dealt with my life. I was there 14 months as an intern and it was there that the interest for the Bible Institute was born. I want to learn more about God and I want to be a useful tool in his hands.
