Enrique Montaño

 

Enrique Montaño is a dynamic preacher with a burning passion to reach the lost and hurting people in the cities and nations of the world for Jesus Christ. His love and compassion for others ignites a life-changing hope and hunger for revival in each person he shares the gospel with.

 

Enrique gave his life to the Lord while a police officer in Cali, Colombia patrolling the same streets where he has now established a foundation for women and children. During his 7 years as a police officer, the Lord appeared to him several times intervening to save his life. After one life-changing encounter with the Lord he moved to Houston in 1992 where he worked as a soccer coach with inner-city youth. Many of the lives of the young players and their parents were changed. While coaching one day in 1998 the Lord told him to consecrate himself to serve Him full-time. The Lord told him to be His minister…To be a living sacrifice for Him. To let His life be a living example to others. After answering this call Enrique would spend hours each day seeking, praying and fasting, focusing on his own personal transformation. He would then head to the streets of Houston reaching out to the lost and hurting as the Lord directed him. A native Colombian himself, the Lord gave him a special commission to reach the Colombian drug dealers in Houston. He would go to parks where they would meet and then minister the love and hope of Jesus Christ to them. Enrique was also involved in prison ministry often preaching in the maximum security prisons in Texas. With his love for the lost and hurting he joined with other ministries in the Houston area and saw many lives change after receiving Christ and the baptism of the Holy Spirit

 

Enrique and his wife Vimarie have been pastoring the Houston Revival Center Spanish Church for the past four years. During their tenure at HRC, they continued to see the hand of God move mightily on their behalf but their hearts continued to be drawn to the cities and nations of the world.

 

Enrique and Vimarie have a God ordained mandate to go forth into the nations into the dark places to equip and establish the foundation of the fullness of our inheritance in Christ Jesus. They are founders of Luz de Victoria which translates “Light of Victory”. Luz de Victoria is located in Cali, Colombia and has been established to be a refuge and training center to equip future generations in the ways of the Lord.

 

Enrique has traveled to Honduras, Nigeria and Colombia taking the Gospel of the Kingdom laboring to see Christ formed in every person he meets. His mission is to teach, train and see transformation in the lives of those that God allows him to touch leaving them with a path of hope and promise for tomorrow.
