Santiago was feeling frustrated. He was putting in a lot of effort into the work he did with his local church in Managua, Nicaragua every since he became a Christian but he felt it wasn't producing much fruit.

The leaders of the church, however, noticed Santiago's perseverance and passion in sharing the gospel. As they began the process of selecting church planters for training with Multiplication Network Ministries (MNM), they immediately thought of him because of his consistency in serving the Lord.

Santiago jumped on the chance to receive more training. He wanted to be as prepared as he could be to tell others about Jesus.

"I finally understand how to better focus my evangelistic work," Santiago says after a few training sessions. "I believe in my heart that the work I am doing now through this training will result in a new community of faith."

The area where Santiago is going to plant a church is not very open to the gospel but he knows God gave him this opportunity and the desire to teach others about Jesus. "A new church is always going to impact the community in new ways," Santiago says. He is sure God will touch the hearts of the people and is excited to be an instrument in His will.
