A CHURCH WITH GOD'S MESSAGE FOR THE END OF DAYS ...
I was born in a Christian home in Ciudad Delgado, San Salvador; son of pastors Timothy Antonio and Ana Miriam Portillo. From my early age I met the Lord Jesus as my personal Savior whom I serve with my heart. I migrated to the United States at the age of 15 years old in the state of California and Los Angueles. At age of 22 I moved to the state of Virginia. In 1992 I married Johanna Portillo who I'm happily married. We have three children named Cesia, Joel and Gabriela.
I started attending an AIC Church in Washington DC and began working with the youth and mens group. As an active member of that church I graduated from the ITAIC Theological Institute in 1995. I finished my studies in 2006 with a degree in theology at Hosanna University in Washington DC. I projectied to finish my doctorate in Pastoral Psychology.
