Cleres Pacheco
I am a preacher, pastor, and Bible teacher. I have a passion for the lost and want to show them the love of God. I pastor those who need Jesus and mentor a new generation who will change Europe and the world. I am currently the pastor of a church of about 70 people. I am pastoring them and doing discipleship. I also organize a youth festival that reaches nearly 7,000 young people annually.
I gave my heart to Jesus in 1990. I was living in a city that had many Christians. I kept hearing about Jesus and the salvation one could freely receive through Him. Many of my neighbors were believers, and I also worked with many believers, so I decided to go to a youth service. I was impacted by the speaker and how the people there had let God change their lives. Something happened inside me, and I decided to give my life to Jesus. He was someone I could not resist. After my decision, the youth group took care of me, and I started growing in the knowledge of God.
Four years after I became a Christian, I went to Bible College. I desire to serve with the gifts that God has given to me. This one what we are here, to do what God has called us to do. Over the years, I have met many leaders who have served the Lord with joy for their entire lives. I have met many pastors and teachers who have been great inspirations.
I have been in the ministry for more than 20 years. Preaching and Bible teaching are my callings. Through the Forum, I hope to learn from the experiences of other participants. I hope to learn more about what God is doing across Europe. I hope to find new ways to improve my ministry and meet many leaders I haven't had before.
I planted a church in Brazil many years ago. I have been teaching the Bible since the beginning of my ministry. I have trained leaders in many countries. I have always been part of the leadership in every church I have served.
Over the years, I have served God with passion. I have been in ministry for 16 years in Poland. God has been merciful and is blessing our work. I desire to improve God's gifts to be more effective and reach many more people.
