Dr. Arturo Hotton represents a face of Latin America not often pictured. Arturo's father was a dentist in Argentina and a strong evangelical leader. Driving home from a church meeting, he was hit and killed by another car, leaving 11 year old Arturo fatherless. In utter despair, little Arturo threw himself into the arms of his Lord and Savior as never before.
I met Arturo in Argentina when he was 16. We have been dear friends ever since. In evangelistic crusade outreaches, we have seen thousands come to the Savior! I use him on our Spanish radio broadcast, Impacto. Arturo has the richest vocabulary of anyone I've ever encountered in the Spanish language! He gave me my Spanish name, Brus del Monte.
Years ago, Arturo sought my counsel, "I have an opportunity to enter the political world. What do you think?" My answer, "Go for it in God's name and for His glory!" As an attorney, God catapulted Arturo into the upper echelons of the political world, representing Argentina before the United Nations. Stationed in Geneva, Switzerland, for 8 years, he represented all of South America in the field of finances. Raised in that Alpine European country, Arturo's 4 children speak 5 languages fluently! Two of the daughters serve in Argentina's congress and promote a positive Godly flavor.Arturo has also served as Argentine Ambassador to Bulgaria.
In these later years, Dr. Hotton has organized a powerful and influential group of Christian attorneys in Argentina. His wife, Gloria, has hosted a TV program, "Woman to Woman."
You can see why I'm savoring my time with Arturo and Gloria Hotton in Argentina!
Coming up after Argentina is an evangelistic crusade in Mexico.
Please pray for God's blessing!!!
