I was born to serve and help others. That's what I've done as a pastor for the past 35 years. Through my work as a pastor I have, I have been able to be a part of many different missionary projects. About 17 years ago, a group of youth from my church started talking about a type of evangelism that would attract and allow me to work with other young people. We spoke of SOTAM and the idea behind it, but that was that. Then when I heard that SOTAM's dream was alive, my heart was overwhelmed with joy. In 2017, we were invited to participate in our first ever trip to El Salvador to be part of the SOTAM Outreach Ministry staff. Working in that camp with those young people impacted my life in a great way. I could see how the church could fulfill the Great Commission that given to us. If SOTAM can be a way of serving our Lord’s will , then I too want to be a part of SOTAM, and serve God’s purpose.
