Marvin Tercero received his bachelor’s degree from Baxter in 2001 as part of the last class to receive the three-year bachelor’s degree. He stayed at Baxter for a fourth year and received his licenciatura in 2002.
In May 2003 he went to Bogota as part of the Continent of Great Cities (now Great Cities) Bogota team, the first Latin American team to be formed with Baxter graduates. He lived and worked in Bogota for 8 1/2 years, until the end of 2011, as the team formed a new congregation and developed internal leaders.
Marvin is now serving with the Milpas Altas-Santa Lucia church about an hour outside of Guatemala City where he has a three-year commitment to work to strengthen and build up the local congregation. He has many opportunities to serve the fellowship of the churches of Christ in Guatemala due to his love of singing and his ability to lead singing. He recently traveled to Bogota to spend time with the elders of the congregation he helped establish, seeking to be a catalyst for greater harmony and unity.
Marvin continues to study English regularly in formal classes, although those who remember Marvin will remember him as one who had good English skills even during his time at Baxter.
