WHO IS THE COMMUNICATOR?

 

armandoArmando García was born in Mexico City in 1943. He was raised and educated in Mexico City. After three years of Economics at the University of Mexico (UNAM) and four years of Industrial Relations at the University Iberoamericana, he finished his career in 1967.

In 1969 he made the most important decision of his life, believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, accepting the work of His Savior on the cross. Searching to learn all that he could about His Savior, he decided to move with his family to the United States of America to study under the most qualified theologian of our time, R. B. Thieme, Jr., pastor of Berachah Church in Houston, Texas. For thirty years, he attended daily Bible classes in which the scriptures were meticulously analyzed in the original languages, their historical context and categories formed by the comparison of scripture with scripture. Armando studied and continues studying daily the original languages of the scriptures, doing his own exegesis.

In June 1997, Armando was ordained (his gift of communicator was recognized) by the pastor and deacons of Berachah Church. Armando had the desire for a long time to communicate the Gospel and Bible doctrine in his native tongue, Spanish. With this goal, after investigating and being sure of divine guidance, in November, 1998 he arrived in San Jose, Costa Rica. He did not have a church; he did not have a congregation, only his wife and their two dogs. Very soon he began to communicate the Gospel and teach the deep truths of the Bible in jails, homes and parks of Costa Rica. With the same purpose he began to travel to Nicaragua in Februrary 2003 and to Honduras in 2009.

The ministry became global in January of 2009 with the transmission of live Bible classes on the internet by means of video conferencing provided by WEBEX.  Focusing on pastors and pastoral candidates, Armando initiated classes in Koine Greek in 2009, 2010 and 2011, and he started Theology classes in January of 2011.  All of these classes are transmitted live over the internet and recorded through WEBEX.

Wherever he puts his whiteboard, whether in a home, a park or a jail o wherever he stands with an internet connection, there are the hearers provided by God. In this sense he is a missionary. He is a man with a mission – to teach the Word of God to those who are positive.
