"God challenges our interests with His desires. It's so amazing to see how He moves our hearts to His interests. He could let us go down the road that we want to take, but God knows that His plan is better. Living out His plan will bring the fullest potential to our lives."
-Marvin Adelfo Sanchez Masis
Marvin Sanchez became a Christian when he was 18 years old. In the process of searching for direction in his life, he began to study law. However, his heart and mind continued to pull him toward the mission of the Church. This persistent calling led him to seek full-time ministry. He is now in his fourth year of studying Theology at the Assemblies of God Christian University in San Salvador and will soon graduate with a specialization in missions. He has recently joined the group of ENLACE church coaches who work day after day with the pastors and leaders of partnering churches to share the biblical truths that are the foundations of the mission and vision of the Church.
“When the call of God comes to a person’s life, it is very difficult or even impossible to ignore because it is a fire that consumes your heart. As Jeremiah said, I tried to suffer it, but I could not.”

As a counselor, he enjoyed helping young people to discover and develop their true potential.
Marvin brings his life experiences to his church coaching, but is also excited about taking on a broader role with ENLACE. This role, one that reflects God's call for all of His Church, is to encourage one another towards an integral mission demonstrated by Christ himself. This is a mission that Marvin is so excited to share, one that includes preaching the good news, healing, feeding, and caring for our neighbors.
