REV. DR. AUGUSTO SARRIA

ASSOCIATE PASTOR HISPANIC MINISTRY

I have been blessed and give glory to God for three dreams: (1) to have a family, (2) to be a doctor, and (3) to share the gospel. I became a medical doctor in Colombia with a medical practice. I had my dream of a family come true when I married a beautiful Methodist missionary from Peru. God blessed Fany and me with two sons, Pablo and Josue, two very talented Aggies. The third dream came true when, after praying together, we received a call from the USA inviting us to serve as missionary pastors at FMC Bryan. God has glorified himself during these 12 years. We give thanks to God and to all who helped us to obtain citizenship, to see the graduation of our children, to celebrate the graduation of Fany with a Masters of Theology degree, and for me to be ordained an elder in the Eastern Texas Conference of the Global Methodist Church.

Now we dream of a great revival in our church, where all are praying together and working to evangelize, disciple, and supporting missions at home and abroad.
