Birthplace: My name is Edwin Daniel Chacon Diaz. My parents are Claudio Chacon Estrada and Rossy Díaz Lázaro. I have 2 siblings and a younger half sister: Junior (22), Yenny (13), and Maribel Feria Diaz (7). I was born on August 6th, 1984, in the district of Arequipa, in the province of Arequipa , in the department of Arequipa , Peru . 

How I came to Know Christ: My family was Catholic and I remember ever since I was very young that we fulfilled every requirement of the Church. I come from a catholic family, we went to church since we were kids, and we did the sacraments until the first communion. We had many discussions at home because of our tight economic situation. We were very much in debt. This lack of peace and tranquility in my home caused in me a discouragement in life. However, I never became rebellious or anything like that but stayed home. When I was 13, we moved to Hunter and went to a Christian school called Jacobo Dickson Hunter and studied there for 5 years. In one of the chapel services, the preacher, Bro. Marquina preached about how because of my sins, Hell was my destiny. He said there was a solution to my problem: Jesus Christ. I raised my hand during the invitation and after being explained the plan of salvation by pastor Victor Ocampos, I was saved. 

How Christ has changed my Life: Once I was saved I felt so changed that I began to be faithful to the Lord started paying attention to the messages and take an interest in spiritual things. When my family saw the change in my life they really didn't say much about it but eventually it was what helped bring my parents and brother to Christ and they now go to a Baptist Church . My sister and my uncles and grandparents are not saved yet. I continue to pray for their salvation. Unfortunately I had some friends in my neighborhood with whom I played sports. Their bad habits and language rubbed off on me to the point where –I began to frequent parties and drink, smoke, take drugs and get into a dangerous kind of life. Started to get back into the things of God and realized that it was wrong what I was doing. I got involved in the visitation in the things of God and quit my bad habits. 

My Calling into the Ministry: I had heard everything about giving more of myself to God. When I heard of the need of the world for Christ I felt something special in regards to the Lords work and the Lords harvest. At the Youth Congress while Bro. Austin Gardner asked who felt the call of God n their life, I stood to my feet. However that desire to serve God was soon replaced with the desire to study to get a degree and be a professional in business administration. Once I finished those studies, I applied for a pre University course on business but did not make it in. I began to work at a business but then I realized that without God I could never succeed. I then decided I would go study at the Seminary and do whatever God wanted for my life. My family thought I was joking about my decision but they left the decision up to me. The Seminary is a center of preparation for those wanting to be in the ministry. It is where to learn how to be a man of God and how to teach others about the Bible. At the same time it is like a second home for me since I spend so much more time here than at my own house. The Seminary has many needs in regards to the infrastructure. It does not have first class buildings. Whoever studies here knows they have to make sacrifices we know that God will provide. 

My Plans for the Future: When I came back to the Seminary I began to pray about Africa . Here is so much poverty and he people are so blinded by false beliefs. I still don't know if that is where God wants me, but I am praying about it. I do want to be a missionary and although I still do not know where, if it where to be Africa , I would start a work, first through cell groups and winning souls to Christ. Then after starting churches and discipline the people, they could expand the ministry throughout Africa , and looking beyond that I would look to have a Seminary to train them. My dream is to have a great work for God. I know it is necessary to learn another language and other cultures and customs to do this but I am willing, for anything for the cause of Christ.
