In this powerful Testimony Tuesday episode, Pastor Manuel shares:
- How a street outreach knocked on his door at the exact right moment
- Why he almost walked away from Spanish ministry
- The miracle of being filled with the Holy Spirit
- Leaving a military career for the Kingdom
- Traveling extensively with Pastor Wayman Mitchell
- The behind-the-scenes wisdom he gained from decades of leadership
- Why the Spanish harvest in America is wide open
And then God used one unexpected gift to open doors around the world.
This is more than a testimony. It is a call to availability. If God can use a reluctant translator to impact nations, He can use you.
