  Fidel Soto was born into a migrant family in central California. After many years of migrating, the family settled in the Boise, Idaho area where Fidel attended Gem State Adventist Academy. Fidel's personal experience with Jesus Christ began when he was 12 years of age, and at 16 years of age he gave life to God through baptism.
  
  After graduating from High School, Jesus Christ called Fidel to the pastoral ministry. Fidel finished his Theology degree in 1996 from La Universidad de Montemorelos, Mexico, and the next year he married, the love of his life, Cara Wageman. They went on to attend Andrews University where Fidel became the father of two girls and completed the M.Div and later the D.Min program.

• Jonathan Williams

  I was born in Tallahassee Florida but have lived all of my life in Miami-Dade County. I met my college sweetheart (Yolanda) and we married in 1983 and were blessed with the gift of two beautiful children (Christina and Corbin). I met Jesus personally in 1988 while being treated at a hospital called Mount Sinai where it was required that I memorize and recite a daily prayer called "The Serenity Prayer". Shortly after my discharge I continued saying that little prayer until suddenly I realized that God had heard my cry and was answering my prayer. Then on June 2, 2001 I confessed my sins to God realizing He loved me SO, and forgave me completely, and by His grace and power I was able to love and forgive myself. No longer a prisoner to the shame and guilt of my past, I now press on with the blessed hope and anticipation of receiving the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling me!
