From Near-Death to Purpose: Jonatan's Powerful Journey 🙏

from Facing a Task Unfinished

Born with the umbilical cord around his neck and given just 3 days to live, Jonatan Alvarez became a "miracle child" after his mother's prayer of dedication. But his story was just beginning...  In this raw and honest conversation, Jonatan sits down with Rodney Pennington and shares: Growing up between Mexico and Texas, navigating identity and cultural shock His struggle through bullying, rejection, and eventually addiction The moment God's love broke through his shame and guilt His radical decision to attend seminary despite family opposition Walking through family separation, threats, and spiritual warfare while pursuing his calling Now preparing for missionary work in the Philippines, Jonatan's testimony is a powerful reminder that God never gives up on us—even when we've given up on ourselves.  If you are interested in partnering with Jonatan, check out https://partnerhub.omf.org/JA1.
