Doctor Milton Soldani Afonso

               I am so privilege to know Doctor Milton Soldani Afonso, he is an inspiration in my life and has been like a father and model to me. God has used his life in an extraordinary way to be a blessing to so many people. God gave him an amazing ability to manage business and a great love and passion to help people. He is the most generous person I have ever met. He is a successful business owner, the founder of the Golden Cross and an attorney. And the secret of his life is that the more he gave the more he received. I believe God blesses him so much because He made Jesus his very best friend and he wanted others to know about Jesus and His soon coming. Jesus is the first is his life and business. Because the transforming love of Jesus changed his life he wants to share  to others so they could experience the amazing grace and love of Jesus in their lives and be a new person. 

               From a poor little boy he became one of the richest man in Brasil because he wanted to  be rich to help people from poverty and misery to have dignity and education. He wanted to provide heath care for kids, seniors and all people. He wanted to take kids from the streets and give them a home with love and care. And that’s what he did, helping millions of kids to have an Christian education and a future. He believes in the Adventist Education. He invested his fortune in buying hospitals, universities, TV and radio channels to share God’s Word, building churches and schools and sponsoring millions of students. He made many children’s dreams to become true. Including my dream to graduate in law school and MBA. He sponsored my studies and also he sponsored my sisters from our elementary school to college. But most importantly he gave us the privilege to study in an Adventist school that we had the opportunity to learn about Jesus and share with others. We studied in the best schools and met so many amazing people. Through the Adventist education we learned like doctor Milton did that God is amazing, He is our Heavenly Father and loves us with everlasting love. And Jesus is coming soon to take us home. We thank God for Dr. Milton's life, he is 98 years old in good health and following God's leading. His dear wife just passed away on January 5th, 2020. She is waiting for the resurrection morning when Jesus will raise her to eternal life with all of those who love Him. They were married for 73 years.

               Jesus can do exceedingly more that we can ever ask or imagine. That’s the God we serve! I treasure doctor Milton’s life because he is a great example of what God can do when we put God first and want to be a blessing to others. Doctor Milton helped many people to come in contact with the true in Jesus and many people will be in heaven because of him. He is kind and compassionate. Doctor Milton doesn’t keep record of any mistake people did towards him but has a forgiving heart. Jesus has transformed his life and made him a great man of God. 

               God gave each one of us special abilities and He will complete the work he started in us. Every day is a new day of growing with and in Jesus. He will show us His plans for us if we put Him first. I am so happy for all the great blessings God gave to me and I want to share the amazing transforming love of Jesus with others too. I am thankful for my dear family and friends. I love my family and daughters and I want to spend eternity with Jesus, them, and all of my friends and family. May we choose Jesus in our hearts today and everyday of our lives until we go home with Him.
