ROBERTO AND AWILDA CANDELARIO
BISHOPS
Bishop Roberto Candelario was born in the town of Bayamón, Puerto Rico, on July 16, 1952, in the bosom of a humble family. He is a graduate of the Gabriela Mistral High School in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Studied business administration at Hostos College and Hunter College in New York State. He is married to Awilda Candelario; they have 3 children and 6 grandchildren. The man he is today is one whose influence has marked the lives of thousands of people. In the hands of the Lord, it has been an effective instrument to restore and build the lives of men and women of all ages.
After obtaining a degree in theology from the Instituto Biblico Jesus Christ Is Lord, he was sent as a missionary pastor to the Dominican Republic. He remained in this country with his family for four years. During this period, he is processed in all areas of his life. Then, they returned to Puerto Rico, where the Lord was waiting for them to prophesy to them about a great work he had for them. At this opportune time for the manifestation of the divine call, Pastor Roberto begins to relate as a translator for the ministry of Benny Hinn. Through that relationship, he accepts the offer to start a Hispanic ministry at the Orlando Christian Center (OCC) church in Florida, under the guidance of Pastor Hinn. This new stage serves as the beginning of the fulfillment of the prophetic word. After pastoring the Hispanic ministry at OCC for three years, God revealed to him the need to found a ministry with a focus on family restoration. Thus, the Christian Family Center was born, today known as the International Family Center, which consists of five churches.
