About Mission Delafé

“They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death” - Revelations 12:11

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 mission 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.

Over the past four years there have already been over 250+ testimonies and stories released, reaching a vast global audience.
Meet the Founder & President of Mission Delafé

Eric Villatoro

In 2019, at the age of 23, I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ after the heartbreak of a six-year relationship. I was overwhelmed with hopelessness, resentment, and sorrow—longing to be free from the pain of a love awakened before its time. Tired and broken, I cried out to the only one I believed could help me: the Creator, Almighty God. I asked Him for three things:

1) To come into my life and change everything that needed to be changed. In my heart, I knew this was the only way to be free from heartbreak.

2) A wife.
At the time, that was my closest understanding of what real love looked like—I needed love.

3) A church community.
I knew my friends couldn’t help me the way I truly needed.The

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

The Second Answered Prayer: Community
Just 11 days later, I received a message on Instagram from Ashley Flores—my ex-girlfriend’s friend. She invited me 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 God.”

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

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

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

Why I Serve 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.
