LEGACY OF

FORGIVENESS

Sixto has committed his life to encouraging and strengthening Hispanic families. He has brought his message of hope and forgiveness to millions of families, communities, and government leaders.

It all started because of his mother’s radical act of forgiveness.

HIS FAMILY

BACKGROUND

His family background did not suggest he would become a pastor, or an international family advocate advising governments, or a mentor for families looking for answers.

His

mother

His mother was the result of an unplanned pregnancy, the product of an affair between her father and a mistress. She remembers a childhood marked by violence, abuse, and pain at the mercy of her father’s fierce temper.

chose a

different path

Sixto’s mother chose a different path, passing on her faith and living out grace and forgiveness toward her parents. Her example broke a cycle of bitterness and pain and replaced it with a heritage of faith. Sixto knows the power of a family legacy centered on God.

THE

beginning

Josette Altmann,then serving as First Lady of Costa Rica, invited Sixto to present Sex, Lies and the Truth to young people in schools around the country.

This opened doors throughout Latin America, and more than 450,000 young people surrendered their lives to Christ as a result of these events.
