Geneva Bible Church

Ministry Partner: Carlos Alvarado

Geneva, Switzerland

Carlos is a Costa Rican who got saved by the Lord around the year 2003. Stephanie is a Swiss-Brazilian, who was raised in a Christian household and by God’s grace was saved at a young age. Providentially, we met in Costa Rica in 2004 and married in 2008. God kindly graced us with three kids, Alexander (2014), Chloé (2016), and Naomi (2017). After finishing our Culinary & Hospitality studies (in France and Switzerland) we worked in hotels and restaurants, always with an increasing desire to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Pet. 3:18). Thereafter, the Lord provided for us to do a year of biblical studies at the Bible Institute in Geneva, Switzerland (2011). It was in Switzerland where we heard more about John Glass, TMS and Grace ministries. After serving in Youth Ministry in Costa Rica, God kindly opened the doors in 2020 to study at The Master’s Seminary. Carlos is expected to graduate in May, 2024. Stephanie is strengthening her piano skills to serve the Lord whom she loves. All the while, she grows in grace as she excels as a loving wife, nurturing mother, and follower of Christ.

We are grateful to join the team at Geneva Bible Church (GBC) in Switzerland. The Lord has granted us sweet times of fellowship with the Glass, Tetreault, and Moorhead families. We look forward to working alongside as a team for the advancement of the kingdom by making much of Christ’s name. We trust the Lord will build up His church as the Spirit of God uses the Word of God as it is faithfully preached, one verse at a time (2 Tim. 4:2).

We pray the Lord may use us to reach out to the lost as we grow in sanctification alongside His sheep in GBC. May the Chief Shepherd grant us all at GBC the courage to boldly herald the Word and to be obedient to Him.
