Background:
Pastor Leonardo Ramírez attended LoveServes’ training in 2016. The training helped pastor Leonardo and his wife, Elizabeth to equip their church with a vision to help reach people in their community with the hope of the gospel through practical ministry outreach. The church now works in the community by providing family counseling, home repair, and vocational training for youth and women – including a music ministry, teaching beauty salon courses, and manufacturing cleaning products. The church also actively engages in small-group Bible studies and one-to-one discipleship (aka Small Circle).
