Pastor Ivan and Eunice Sotelo Muñoz

The Bible says in Psalm 116:15

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

Around 2:15 am on April 12th the house of my brother-in-law and sister-in-law caught fire. They were able to rescue 5 of their children but tragically their 9 year old child named Arturo Isai or “Tutu” by his closest friends went to be with the Lord.

Only one day earlier after watching the movie “Heaven Is Real” Arturito told his mom… “mommy I want to see Jesus”.

Arturito had a great testimony of loving the Lord. He always sang loudly in church even though he could not keep a tune or know the words.

When his best friend was scared to join the choir Arturito encouraged him by saying that if he did not know the words to just hold the music folder above his lips so no one would know and only learn the chorus.

Arturito loved to play jokes on people. When he’d go to different camps or conferences he’d always change his name. At one camp he told them his name was “Florencio”. Days later the director of the camp was talking to Arturito’s dad… and said “give this to your son Florencio”…

Arturito loved telling others about Jesus. Arturito never met a stranger. He was immediately friends with anyone he met.

Arturito will be missed but he got his wish to see Jesus.

Pastor Ivan and Eunice have been serving at Iglesia Bautista Fundamental Fe since 2010.

They have always lived their lives sacrificially putting others needs ahead of theirs.

They’ve started a church that reaches hundreds of children each week through their bus ministries.

When they were visiting the women’s jail and found 3 children living in the jail with their mother they took them into their own home. For a time they had a children’s home with over 30 kids.

They are a giving family. During their annual pastors conference they host all the visiting pastors in hotels with air conditioning, a basket with treats and pay for all their meals. Their desire is to reach as many for Christ as possible and encourage others in the work of the Lord.
