Reconnecting with his father’s church
There is a special story in the marriage of Hermann Balde and Catalina Jerez.
Hermann is the son of Carlos Balde, who was a very faithful member and practically a founder of the Lutheran Church “Divine
Providence” in Santiago, Chile. He lived very close to the church and began attending Sunday services when it was just a mission and didn’t even have a name.
Nearly four years after the passing of Mr. Carlos, Hermann contacted Pastor James Tino in May of this year to officiate his wedding with Catalina. Pastor James then connected him with missionary Pastor Adrián Ventura, who has been leading the congregation since 2023.
After attending premarital counseling and workshops on the stages of married life, Pastor Adrián blessed the union of Hermann and Catalina on Saturday, June 15, 2024.
Although the newlyweds are not yet members or regular attendees of the church, their story is a good example of how God works mysteriously in our lives.
May the Lord accompany them in this new stage of their lives.
Mr. Carlos Balde
