Birthplace: My name is Gabriela Valencia Jimenez. My parent's names are Juan Valencia Carrillo and Emma Jimenez Pozos. I have 2 brothers and 3 sisters. Their names are Norma (23), Rene (21), Mariana (18), Rodolfo (16) and Paulina (4). I was born in the city of Mexico in a town called Tlahuac mixqui Federal District 

How Christ has changed my Life: I was saved on a visit from my pastor at my house. I grew up in a Catholic home and was trained very Catholic until I was 22 years old. My life began to change when I began to understand God's purpose for me and know His Word. I started to get involved in the ministry and started to get to know my brothers in Christ. I started to see that there were others that also had the same problems and needs that I did and they were on their way to Hell. My pastor invited me to begin to study how to witness. I was put in charge in of the nursery and then teaching children on occasions. I worked in the ministry called Choose Life, encouraging Hispanic women to not get an abortion. I actually helped my husband to teach a children class and made visits to the women in the church which is something I particularly like to do. 

My Calling into the Ministry: God called me into the ministry at a conference where Bro. Daniel Garlick, an evangelist was preaching. I was aware that there was great need in the world. But this time I just felt the burden of so many people around me that needed Christ but the entire world did as well and this caused me to decide to begin studying and preparing myself. I heard about the Seminary at a Missions Conference at my church. Julio Marquina and Ronald Tubillas were the speakers and told us about the Seminary. My husband and I decided to come and live by faith while being perfected for every good work. 

My Plans for the Future: At the moment I want to finish my preparation in the Seminary and go back to Mexico and work at beginning a new word alongside my husband. My desire is that all of Mexico would know the Word of God.
