Brother Miguel A. Fraga is a church planter who would like to establish a Bible institute, and evangelize in the Argentinean northern region. During his youth he started to attend a Christian church and for a while, he thought he could work to receive God’s forgiveness and that He would allow him to enter Heaven. When he was 18, he heard a Christian brother preached about salvation. The preacher showed him from the Bible that salvation is only by grace, he understood the message of salvation and accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. Later he surrendered his life to Christ while at camp, as they spoke on missions. After hearing about believers who were serving in difficult places he was impacted on each story. From that moment on, God worked in his heart and dedicated completely consecrated to the service of the Lord. Brother Fraga has a great burden for the work in Latin America, the mission field with national pastors, and the desire to train young men and women to open new works with a vision set on the mission field. He decided to prepare himself (study) at a Bible institute, and later returned to his church to start a church along with another missionary, in Northern Argentina. That is where he lived. In addition, he had the opportunity of working a few years in Arequipa, Peru, returning to Argentina and working in the city of La Plata, in Buenos Aires, with another missionary—to whom he also taught the culture and the language. They started a Bible institute. During those 3 years he worked as director of the institute and was co-pastor of the Baptist church. There are a number of young people who were trained under Brother Fraga, and who are now pastoring churches in Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay. He is married to Norma Elizabeth Gomez and have 2 daughters and 2 sons. |
