Faces of Faith – Viviana

During the pandemic, churches in Argentina closed their doors, and I felt something was missing. I had always read the Bible, but I longed to truly understand God’s message. With time on my hands, I searched for online Bible studies, carefully avoiding groups that didn’t align with Scripture.

That’s when I found Academia Cristo. The self-study course caught my attention with its biblical questions. It was a study that was rooted entirely in God’s Word. I was so eager that I finished the course in just a day and a half. Then came an invitation to a live class. I signed up right away.

My first course, The Word Grows: Disciple, changed everything. I realized I was a disciple of Christ, called to grow in his truth. At first, I struggled with the idea of salvation by grace alone, as legalism is common in many churches here. But through my studies, I came to fully trust in Christ’s merits, not my own works.

I never missed a class after that. I learned from incredible teachers, and by God’s grace, I now teach others. Looking back, I see how God prepared me for this path. The best investment I’ve made is not for worldly wealth but for my soul—peace, joy, and confidence in Christ alone.
