After receiving his bachelor's degree from the University of Northwestern in Saint Paul, MN., José Luis went back to his homeland Ecuador and worked as translator of scripts for a major Christian broadcasting network. In Reach Beyond Ministries (formerly known as HCJB) José Luis translated scripts of a radio program called The Discipleship Hour, a 30-Minute program produced in the USA and broadcasted in Latin America and Europe and translated into several languages.
