Keren Lara
Financial Ministry Assistant
I was born in Guatemala, but I have lived in the United States since I was 12 years old. My family settled in North Carolina, and from there I went on to study at Baptist University of the Americas in San Antonio, TX, where I met my husband, Daniel Aguilar. We came to Madison as missionaries to the Hispanic community over the summer of 2010, and since then, we felt God’s calling to continue to serve here in Wisconsin. We are currently serving at Iglesia Nueva Vida, where my husband serves as pastor. We have three children, Raquel, Samantha and Lucas. I enjoy being involved in all aspects of ministry and in my spare time I like to sew, draw, craft and spend time with my family.
