Ministry Focus
Marjorie has a deep passion for sharing the gospel and for discipleship. She firmly believes that people need constant follow-up in the teaching of Scriptures in order to be firmly established in the faith. Through this process, church planting and the strengthening of Christian communities can be achieved.
Marjorie wishes to integrate her academic studies in dentistry with ministry service, using them as a tool to reach lost souls. In the future, she would like to organize medical missions where she can provide physical care while sharing the message of salvation.
Faith Story
Growing up in a Christian home, Marjorie always knew the Word of God and intellectually understood that Christ died for her. However, it was not until she was sixteen years old, while praying at church, that she truly decided to give her life to Jesus.
In the year 2020, Marjorie began to study the Bible on a deeper level, which marked a spiritual awakening. That passion led her from being a student to becoming a teacher and disciple-maker, serving her brothers and sisters in the faith. Currently, Marjorie has the privilege of leading three Bible studies where she teaches and walks alongside others in their spiritual growth.
Family
Marjorie is 26 years old and is the youngest daughter of Nelson and Consuelo Juárez. In her free time, she enjoys cooking and recently she has started reading as a new hobby. She has a seven-year-old chihuahua dog named Penny, who is a sweetheart and a great companion.
Education
Regarding her academic background, Marjorie completed her primary and high school studies in Belice, at St. Joseph primary School Belize city and Belize High School (BHS), which allowed her to develop as a bilingual person in English and Spanish. She is currently in the sixth year of the Doctorate in Dental Surgery at the Universidad Autónoma de Santa Ana, in El Salvador.

In a country of conflicting realities, families live between generosity and violence
El Salvador bears the marks of traumatic earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The same dramatic landscape has lured tourists to explore the country's volcanoes, cloud forests and Mayan ruins.
In local life, parades and festivals display a love of music and celebration, and family holds an important place in society. Since a church wedding is considered irreversible, some couples wait until they have children to marry.
Many Salvadorans who fled the country during civil war from 1979 to 1992 have returned and brought North American culture back with them. Those who settled in the United States still send earnings to their families back home that account for 20% of El Salvador’s GDP.
Such generosity and kindness stand in contrast to the disturbing rise of gang-related violence and murder. Crime rates have increased in recent years, and so has the influence of evangelical Christianity.
Your participation with Missions Door helps to plant and strengthen churches and develop Christian leaders in El Salvador.
Cultural Snapshot
