About Mission Delafé

"Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord" - Psalm 102:18

At Mission Delafé, we believe that the evidence of God’s power is all around us—seen in nations, neighborhoods, and the hearts of individuals. Our goal is to collect and share real stories of transformation that point to the living hope found in Jesus. These testimonies come from people of every background—former prisoners, addicts, those who left other religions, experienced spiritual bondage, or faced impossible circumstances. From different races, nationalities, and walks of life, each story is a powerful witness to God’s love and the work of the Holy Spirit.

Through compelling, emotionally resonant videos, we capture moments of radical change—showcasing how Jesus transforms not just individuals, but communities. Whether it’s from the streets of the U.S. or the villages of India, from the cities of Switzerland to the coasts of Thailand, the message is clear: Jesus is alive, and where He is, there is always hope.

Our mission is to establish the world's largest archive of Jesus testimonies. Over the next five years, there is a goal of reaching 1 billion people, enabling all nations to witness the transformative power of God's love and contribute to the defeat of the devil. This growing number of people boldly sharing how Christ has transformed their lives is a powerful testament to God's commitment to saving those who are lost.

Since our beginnings in 2021 there have already been over 300+ testimonies and stories released, reaching a vast global audience.

Eric Villatoro
Founder of Mission Delafé

In 2019, at the age of 23, Eric Villatoro surrendered his life to Jesus Christ after the heartbreak of a six year relationship. He was overwhelmed with hopelessness, resentment, and sorrow, longing to be free from the pain of a love awakened before its time. Tired and broken, Eric cried out to the only One he believed could help him: the Creator, Almighty God.

In that moment, he asked God for three things. First, that Jesus would come into his life and change everything that needed to be changed, knowing in his heart that this was the only way to be truly free from heartbreak. Second, he asked for a wife. At the time, this reflected his closest understanding of real love. He knew he needed love. Third, he asked for a church community, recognizing that his friends could not help him in the way he truly needed.

Answered Prayers.

First Answered Prayer: Transformation
That very night, without fully realizing it, Jesus came into Eric Villatoro’s life. He began leading him on a journey of radical transformation—one filled with restoration, salvation, miracles, and beautiful encounters that assured him Jesus was behind it all.

The Second Answered Prayer: Community
Just 11 days later, Eric received a message on Instagram from Ashley Flores—his ex girlfriend’s friend. She invited him to church: “Hey man, I would love it if you came to church this Friday with my boyfriend and me… I know it’s been hard and I just feel like you should be in the presence of Jesus.”

That message still brings him to tears. She had no idea how many lives would be changed by that simple invitation, starting with his. That Friday, Eric walked into King of the Nations Church in Rockville, Maryland, and encountered the Holy Spirit through a group of passionate young adults. He’s remained in that community ever since, and it’s where he truly met the Holy Spirit, which led him to Jesus, and ultimately to the Father.

The Third Answered Prayer: A Wife
After Eric’s baptism on June 30, 2019, he began praying more specifically for a wife. Jesus spoke clearly to his heart: “She’s on the way.”

On July 14, 2019, Eric started talking to a beautiful, Houston raised Latina named Genesis Guevara. Their love story spans three years of long distance relationship, growing together in the Lord, until they were finally married on September 2, 2022—by the same pastor who baptized him.

Why I Share Jesus:

"When I first cried out to God, I wasn’t thinking about the trauma of being molested as a child, or all the things I had done wrong. I just wanted relief. But instead, I received eternal life.He set me free from the grip of death. He gave me love, healing, purpose, and everything I didn’t know I needed."

This is the God I now serve.
