Sebastian was born in Tolima, Colombia in a small community to a humble family that works in the fields. His aunt raised him until he reached 8 years of age and she was the one who taught him of the love of God and the Adventist faith. He worked since the age of 8 at various jobs with the intention of finishing his education. At the age of 16, he participated in government examinations and God permitted him to be one of 25 people selected at the national level to receive a scholarship to study aviation mechanics. He worked as an airplane mechanic for large airlines for three years while preaching and carrying out responsibilities of leadership in the local church. He was inspired by his biological brother to follow Jesus’ example and serve as a missionary. This has led him to serve as a full-time volunteer in any work that can be of help to society, bring humanitarian aid, and provide the opportunity to reflect the love of Jesus and preach the gospel through living testimony.

My greatest desire is to reflect the character of Christ. I made the decision to serve God as a lifelong missionary and work to bring people physical, mental, and spiritual help. I am convinced that Jesus is coming soon. I love to read the Bible, teach others about the love of Jesus,and write poetry. I seek to make God my total dependance, for without the Holy Spirit I am nothing. Jesus is my best friend and I want to present Him to others and share with them the Three Angles’ Messages.
