Antonio Perez, MIL 1993
“I have completed 40 years of ministry in preaching and teaching the word of God and I am grateful to God and TMP for giving me the opportunity to serve the Body of Christ.”
“As pastor of a church in Venezuela for 13 years, I knew very little of the true Biblical doctrine, so the church was full of legalism and old traditions. This did not help toward the growth of the people or my church. In 1993 God gave me the opportunity to attend TMP. I can declare with all sincerity that the biblical training I received at TMP changed my life and my ministry. It was something wonderful to behold all that I received. When I returned to Venezuela, I implemented changes in the church, and it grew immensely, and we established another church in that region.”
In 1994 Antonio began a joint work with leaders of rural churches in his province as well as other provinces by teaching for three months with videos and materials provided by TMP. “More than 450 pastors and leaders received this course of empowerment.”
In 2005 God opened doors in Brazil, on the border of Venezuela, where we traveled teaching many pastors and leaders. They received the teachings with great joy and the work continued in that part of Brazil.
Then in 2018 when people fled Venezuela because of the critical political situation, many went to Brazil. God told me to move to the region where I had ministered for years, and with the local pastors help find places for the Venezuelans to live, give them food, and set up Brazilian language classes to help them become adjusted and employed. From the refugees, I have begun a wonderful new church for the Venezuelans and God is blessing us.
