My name is Diana Martinez San Luis. I’m 22 years old and I’m from a Mixtec area called “Pinotepa de Don Luis”. I’m the youngest of four siblings. I was born in a non-Christian family and in an environment of violence. I grew up with a root of rejection by society, inferiority, lack of identity, bullying at school and suicidal thoughts. I was looking for acceptance in other people. Having bad friendships, I started to see artists as my refuge and idols. I clung so much to a life without meaning and without a purpose.

I worked hard in my studies, I got good grades, and I got a lot of academic recognition, but my soul felt so empty. I began to have anxiety attacks, depression, violent behavior, and my academic performance dropped. I was also dissatisfied with my body. In 2015 I fell into a severe depression after the death of my best friend. The guilt was so strong that in that same year I tried to commit suicide for the first time.

During the pandemic of 2020 the Lord was already speaking to my heart, but I rejected Him. In September of that same year my mom became seriously ill with Covid-19. I remembered that God is Almighty, so I cried out for my mom’s health, and she was healed. In December 2021, I gave my life to the Lord and together with my parents we began attending a church. It was at the beginning of 2022 that God put in my heart to study the Bible School.

In August of that same year, I began to study the Bible School. With conviction I was baptized in water and months later I received the baptism in the Spirit. Quickly the Holy Spirit began to reveal to me areas of my life that I needed to surrender to Him and receive healing. I can safely say that this decision was the best decision I could have made in my entire life. I am now in my second year of Bible School, completely in love with Jesus who has saved me. But most of all grateful for the miracle in my family.

    Praise the LORD for His seeking and saving! What an incredible testimony of healing, salvation, restoration, and renewal. Surely, what the enemy meant for evil God indeed means for good. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”-Jeremiah 29:11
