Before he was married, he attended the Seminary in MedellĂ­n for five years. Claudia accepted the Lord when she was sixteen. She and her sister were the first in their family to became Christians. Claudia has sorne training in business and selling and also has two years of theological training. Her passion is for discipleship and social work. In the first year of El Redil (the first church they planted in 1989) 21 people from Claudia’s extended family became Christians. In 1988 with the Webbs, the Wrays, and some university students they started a dream of a church and that was EL REDIL (sheepfold).
