Jose-Luis is the owner of the bakery in Nueva Vida. He is a business administrator. He has been going to the Verbo church in Nueva Vida for the past 11 years. Before he started the bakery he worked at a place that gave out small loans. He lost his job and was unemployed for 3 and half years. He didn't want to look for a job, he wanted to work in Nueva Vida and help young people there. He was studying and Moses for a message that he was going to give at church. God spoke to him in his ear and told him to put a bakery in Nueva Vida. Nobody in his family was bakery and thought God was crazy. He didn't listen to God. A couple months later God spoke to him again telling him that it would work and it would reach out to the community. He finally accepted what God was telling him. He went to another bakery to learn how to make bread. The original bakery was small room with a big wood oven. It started with Jose-Luis and another person. On the first day they were open they sold 62 bags. There was one person on a bike selling the bread. Jose-Luis' wife thought he was crazy at the beginning. Now there are 14 people working at the bakery. They sell 500 bags of bread per day. They own 3 motorcycles and 2 bikes from which they sell bread. The bakery itself is about 4x bigger than the original room that they had. Everything is paid for by the bakery. 70% of Nueva Vida buys bread from his bakery. His wife sees all the blessings that have come from the bakery, in Juse-Luis, his family and the many people of Nueva Vida. She now realizes that he wasn't crazy to start a bakery. He has seen that God has been backing up everything that He told Jose-Luis. Now the bakery is one of the many projects that they have started in Nueva Vida.
