Journey

Obed was born in a Christian home and raised all his life at a Christian Church in his hometown of Rio Verde, San Luis Potosí, Mexico. His father was an elder and served leader in a local church and his mother in the women’s ministry for several years

In 1996, at the age of seven, he attended a summer camp where he received Jesus as his Savior. Since that experience, he started to get involved with missionary teams from USA and helping with children and youth evangelism.

In 2004, he felt God’s calling to full-time ministry when a ministry team from Rio Grande Bible College came to his church to present their ministry. But, it was not until 2007 when his student visa was finally approved to attend Rio Grande Bible College. So, when that happened, he knew that God wanted him to serve in ministry.

In 2008, God provided the necessary funding and he was able to start the training in the United States. In 2009, he was part of a musical team representing the Rio Grande Bible College in many cities of USA and Canada. In the same summer, he went to the Dominican Republic as missionary with Oasis Evangelical Church leading a group of students to the country and he also ministered in Haiti.

Since 2013, Obed has been serving in various ministries in Mexico as a Pastor, Youth Pastor, Evangelist, Sunday School Teacher, Camping Ministries Director and other roles.

Obed met Joairib Ramales in 2015 while serving God in different ministries at church. Joiarib is a pastor’s daughter who has been a Christian since a young age.

Obed married Joairib in January 2017. They have one daughter, Genesis Grace who was born in June 2018.

Each church is independent and autonomous and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; that, therefore, Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from the dictation or patronage of the other.

We believe that a visible church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, buried with Him in baptism and associated for worship, work and fellowship.

We believe that to these visible churches were committed for observance “until He comes,” the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper; and that God has laid upon these churches the task of persuading a lost world to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and to enthrone Him as Lord and Master. We believe that righteous living, good works and proper social concern are essential products of the gospel.

We believe, therefore, that those who accept Christ as their Lord and Savior will rejoice forever in God’s presence and those who refuse to accept Christ as Lord and Savior will be forever separated from God.
We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His high priestly intercession for His people and His personal, visible return to the world according to His promise.
