The power of mentoring: Testimonies from Hispanic churches

May 14th, 2025

God is doing amazing things in Hispanic churches around the world through Church Renewal International (CRI)! Pastors and their spouses are experiencing personal renewal, deepening their walk with God, and bringing transformation to their churches. Here are just a few powerful testimonies of what God is doing.

Kaleb Soares, Spain

I was praying and asking God for a biblical mentoring program and I am very grateful that I found out about Church Renewal through a pastor friend. What I consider most important was that Church Renewal first worked on my heart, because a pastor cannot renew the church if he does not first renew his heart. My time with God became more meaningful and more regular. Today, I begin every day in the presence of the Lord. This has meant a deeper relationship with God.

Marcelo Machuca, Argentina

After 15 years as a pastor, I was in great need of personal and spiritual renewal. Then I joined Church Renewal mentoring. Through each lesson and teaching I began to experience change and growth, first in my personal life and then in my church ministry.

Elena Bernal de Fonseca, Mexico

I can testify that there is a ‘before-mentoring husband’ and an ‘after-mentoring husband’ and what a difference! I am a witness of what God does in the life of those who humbly open their hearts to be taught and directed. Words like being intentional, listening to God´s voice, growing in holy character and all the practices of renewal were put by my husband into practice and now we teach them at our church. I decided to take the mentorship as well, because I want to walk alongside my husband and because it truly works to be intentional in seeking to hear God's voice. Now I not only see Roman as my husband but I also see him and respect him as a leader whom I can imitate.

May prayer request

Pray that God would add more qualified coaches so that Church Renewal would continue to expand effectively in Iberoamerica (Spanish & Portuguese speaking around the world).
