Meet the Family: Tito Sepulveda (Chile)
My name is Tito Sepúlveda, and I live in Curicó, Chile—a land richly blessed by God. Our region is famous for its abundant fruit, from apple trees to grapevines, and I’ve spent much of my life working the land and watching things grow.
I was born into an evangelical family and raised with Christian values. But as I entered adolescence, I drifted. The pull of the world—the pleasures, the vices—was strong. I gave in, and those choices brought pain. Not just to me, but to those around me. Sadly, the church we attended didn’t teach the Bible, and I never heard the simple truth that Christ had died for me. I believed I had wandered too far, that there was no way back.
Years later, while working in Argentina, my brother invited me to a church service. I went, not knowing it would change my life. The preacher read Romans 3:23: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Those words hit me hard. For the first time, I understood that I wasn’t alone in my sin—and that God, in His mercy, had sent Jesus to die in my place. Right there, I believed. Christ forgave me. He cleansed me. And I’ve never been the same.
I returned to Chile with a new heart and a new purpose.
Now, at 70 years old, I still rise each day with gratitude. I’ve been married for 42 years to my loving wife, Laura—an almost-perfect companion, as I like to say. Together we’ve raised two daughters, Romina and Lorena, both of whom have excelled in their professions. I also work alongside one of them in our park and garden maintenance business, tending the land just as I did when I was young.
At church, I serve with the men in our local Charis Alliance church, helping wherever I’m needed. Whether it’s a task in the garden or a role in the church, I do it for the Lord who saved me.
To young people, I offer this advice from Ecclesiastes 12:1: “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth.” Don’t wait until life has passed you by. Seek God now. Make good decisions. Honor Him with your life.
I am Tito Sepúlveda, a forgiven man—and a joyful collaborator in the kingdom of God.
