Tony and Valentina Liborio
Huehuetenango, Guatemala
The Liborio's serve with LAM Canada.
Tony and Valentina are preparing to return to Guatemala to work among descendants of the Maya, the Jacalteco speaking people of the Huehuetenango mountain region. Tony hails from El Salvador originally and Guatemalan born Valentina spent much of her life in the Province of Quebec, where the Liborios currently reside. They have three children, Abigail, Daniel and Yohan. The Liborios met in Guatemala City while attending Bible college there. Between 1996 and 2002, Tony worked in church ministry among the Jacalteco in a remote community in Guatemala, Valentina joining him after their marriage in 2000. They helped strengthen a new church plant, which grew significantly under their leadership. God is calling them to return to work with that same church to encourage the congregation to further evangelize the region and to plant new churches.
Since 2008, Tony has served as an Associate Pastor at a church in Montreal, however, he and Valentina continue to sense a call from the Lord to return to mission work. Acts 13:2 has spoken to them and they look forward to returning soon as missionaries "set apart" by the Holy Spirit to continue their ministry in Guatemala.
