TESTIMONY
Augusto was born in Cuba in 1951, and lived there for 12 years. He came to the U.S. in 1963 with his family where he has lived ever since. From childhood Augusto“felt” that God had an important work for him to do when he grew up. At the age of 30, one night as he was lying on his bed sleeping, he heard someone call out his name softly.
As he got dressed and went to the door, he opened it only to find no one outside. That night Revelation 3:20 became a reality to him. A few weeks later, God showed him through a dream the new birth experience. Augusto wholeheartedly gave his life to Jesus, and was miraculously transformed and set free from sin and bondage by the power of the Holy Spirit.
THE CALL TO BE A PASTOR/TEACHER
The Lord called Augusto to preach the gospel a few months after he was saved. A missionary from Colombia asked him to preach his first message in a small Spanish congregation in 1982, and he has not stopped preaching ever since. From 1985 through 1992 the Lord used Augusto to start a church that was responsible for hundreds of people being saved in the city of Miami, Florida. He had a radio ministry for three years, which was heard by over twenty thousand people daily. For seven years he served as senior pastor and teacher to this thriving congregation, which produced two ministers. While Augusto was still pastoring, he started conducting evangelistic crusades on a small scale throughout this nation. God was working in a special way through him, as people were being set free from bondage, diseases and sin through the spoken word. He felt that rather than limit his ministry to a specific place, God wanted him to reach a greater cross section of people, crossing geographical, cultural, racial and denominational barriers.
THE CALL TO BE A PROPHET/EVANGELIST
At the beginning of 1992, the Lord spoke to Augusto for a long time in the middle of the night, and specifically told him to give up the church where he was pastor. Not only was he told to give up the church, but also the city where he had lived for twenty-six years, and go to a place that God would show him. He was obedient to the heavenly call, and with his wife and six year old daughter, packed his belongings and left his family, friends and relatives not knowing where he was going. For the next three and a half years, as he was being trained in the wilderness, the Lord confirmed His call to him through His servants, and through different people who did not know him, or had any information concerning his ministry. God genuinely uses Augusto through the ministry of the “Spoken Word” and the gifts of the Spirit. Signs, wonders and miracles follow this man. Rhema words flow from him delivering, healing, encouraging and establishing people, identifying their gifting and callings from God. His simple yet profound understanding of spiritual truths is a “fresh breath” to the Church. His love, wisdom and compassion shows through as he ministers to God’s people individually or as a group. This man has a prophetic anointing that cuts through the flesh, soul and into the spirit-man. When this anointing is flowing, only one word will accomplish what many sermons and counseling sessions could not. Through the years, he has developed a proven track record of specific prophetic words spoken over congregations, leaders and people in many parts of this country, and world events in general that have come to pass. Augusto has a rare blend of humility and spirit power manifesting in his life and ministry. His passion is Jesus, and his desire is to see the Glory of God manifested in all the earth.
THE PRESENT MOMENT
When the Lord called Augusto to be a part of this great army that He is raising up in this last day, he was told that God’s glory would be manifested all over the earth in this last great move of God. In the last few years, in addition to having revival meetings and miracle crusades, he has been conducting leadership training seminars and sessions for leaders of the five-fold ministry all over this nation and overseas. Over the last year, through a series of personal dreams, visions and prophetic words from many servants of God, the Lord has confirmed that he is being released now into the ministry of apostle/prophet. Augusto has always had the heart of a father, of a shepherd. In the past, many pastors from different churches have sought his advice, wisdom and counsel in dealing with difficult situations. Some of them refer to him as their pastor. When he is received by a church and allowed to function in his office, he brings direction, revelation and confirmation to the whole congregation, the leadership, and the people individually. Recently, he has been overcome with the burden of the Lord and a divine commission to train, prepare, equip and release the emerging army of believers that will reap the end time harvest of souls that is upon us, and manifest Jesus Christ to the whole world. For this reason and purpose, The Appearance, Inc. was born. Augusto continues to travel and minister all across the U.S. and overseas starting revival fires. He has written two books titled: " Introduction To Signs and Wonders " and " Foundational Principles For New Converts and Believers ", and also produced three Prophetic-Rap CD's. The first one is called " Bone to Bone ", the second one " Tuning In To Reality " and the third one " The Challenge " (See the Resources Section).
