Pablo Yoder is an author of numerous books, a testament to his wide expertise and passions. His books range from his love of nature such as “The Work of Thy Fingers,” biographical sketches such as “Unconditional Surrender,” inspirational works such as “Footprints of Christ,” and personal journeys such as “Angels in the Night.”

Pablo grew up in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and moved to Costa Rica as a child. After marriage, Pablo and his wife Euni were blessed with six children and moved to plant a church in Waslala, Nicaragua.

Of particular note, between 1995 and 2000, Pablo and his family have lived through dozens of tests of faith while encountering robberies and death threats in Nicaragua. His responses are predictably creative and consistently filled with love for his enemies.

Pablo lives in Nicaragua with his wife Euni and six children.
