Diana Cedeño

My name is Diana Cedeño. I grew up on the coast of Ecuador and learned English when I was 11 years old with the hopes of using it as a tool to make money in the future. However, God had different plans for this skill. I was blessed to receive grace and forgiveness from God at the age of 18. Soon after, my desire to serve Him grew, and I walked closer to Him. My ability to speak English became the instrument of the Lord as I started translating for mission teams from Canada and the States. Back in 2015, God gave me the most wonderful experience of my life as I was able to attend school at Blue Mountain Christian University.

After finishing school, I came back to Ecuador to serve in Babahoyo by providing pastoral support, leadership training and working with ladies who were victims of abuse. The 10-week program “Mending the Soul” was a way to bring support and hope to many women who experienced verbal abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence and more. With the help of our good Father, I was also blessed to serve with Pastor Juan Pomavilla and his family in the Community Church of Mamanica.

Sunday School & Women’s Ministry Programs at New Jerusalem Church

In 2022, I moved to the town of Milagro. I joined New Jerusalem Church, and through their facilities, I have been able to serve women, children, and youth. This church did not have a Sunday School program or ladies’ ministry before I joined. I have been privileged to serve the women of this community through a weekly Bible study that is currently impacting the lives of 30+ ladies. I am also growing a group of teenagers and young adults who are faithfully coming each Saturday. Sunday School is now part of the church and is serving children, youth and adults.

In November of 2023, I married my husband Ronnie Alcivar, and we have served actively as a couple since then. Thank you so much for supporting the ministry of God in Ecuador!
