Armando
Adan Alaniz was born June 12,
1947 in Havana, Texas. He is married
to Janie and they have 3 children: Gloria,
32 years old, Armando II, 25 years old and Angelica, 17 years old.
Armando
presently lives in Hialeah, Florida, where he serves as Academic Dean
for Atlantic International Bible Institute. He
will be moving in the Spring of 2004 to Houston, Texas to help with startup
of the new Gulf Coast Bible Institute.
Armando
is fluent in English and Spanish and teaches New Testament Greek and Old
Testament Hebrew. |
Some
of Armando’s goals are to teach and train preachers and leaders in a school
that will focus on local development of churches and on areas such as
Cuba, Mexico, Central
and South America. His desire is to be involved in a program to
plant churches on the eastern seaboard states of the U.S. where
there are millions of Hispanics in major cities with no Spanish church
work. It’s Armando’s objective
and goal to finalize, in 5 to 10 years, a commentary of the New Testament
and a literal translation from the Greek to Spanish.
He is also interested in publishing several books in Spanish. Last,
but not least, he wants to finalize his doctoral in Divinity and enter
a doctoral for Marriage and Family.
He enjoys
being a part of a faculty that spiritually equips men and women for functionality
in local congregations. With his degree in Marriage and Family Therapy,
he is able to implement any curriculum with courses relating to Pastoral
and Family counseling and therapy. |
