Birthplace: My name is Sara Rodaura Rayme Centeno. My parent's names are Cefenno Rayme Condori and Ana Vara. I have 7 siblins Yaneth (22) Alex (17) Lourdes (15) Anibal ( 12) Jhoselyn (9) Karina (4) Michael (1).
How I came to know Christ: I was born and raised in a non Christian environment. My father was almost always drunk and so was my mother. When I was 6 yrs old my parents got a divorced so me and my brother went to live with my father and my other siblings went to live with my mother. I did not see my mother again until I was 11 yrs old during this time my father had another woman and my stepmother had a son. It was horrible because they only gave preference to their son until I was 11 yrs old and at that time my mother came to look for us because my father separated from my step mother and was now staying at my aunt's house. I was not staying at my aunts and my stepmother was so angry she told my mother to come take us away and she did. I came to Arequipa with my mother. And after 6 months she started to drink and have another relationship. So she left us one day and she never came back and I was left to live alone in my house. I came to know Christ through the missionary Aldo Asto.
I began to go to church because of friend and I have been going ever since. The missionary's wife, Maruja Asto, led me to Christ and ever since then my life was changed. First of all I did not feel hate to my parents any more. My calling: In 2002 at a youth congress God broke my heart while seeing the need in India . Brother Austin Gardner asked us to pray for the lost and I prayed and I asked God to use me in His ministry. I went to study in the seminary in 2003. For me the seminary has been a place of preparation in order to better work in the ministry that God gives me. I gave my life to God because of the mercy he has given to me. The only way that I know to thank Him is giving and surrendering my life to him.
Future plans: I am working in a store which helps me pay for my seminary studies, for now my plans are to work full time in the church. I also want to help work in New Hope Baptist church and would like to be a missionary where ever God sends me. God bless you. |
