Viron D. Vargas

I am Viron (Vy-ren) Vargas.
I never like talking about myself so I will make this as short and real as much as possible.

I was born and raised in Long Beach, CA. grew up with two loving parents who were highly involved in ministry when I was a child. My father was the head pastor for a Spanish church and my mother was the worship leader. growing up in a church environment has helped me to be build my love for people and the love to see God touch and transform lives such as mine.

When I was in high school my parents fell out of love and both decided to go their separate ways. When I was going through the divorce I had to quickly discover who I was while being place as the new "Man of the House." From that September of 2005 - October 2008 I struggled with my faith with the Lord. I had felt betrayed, hurt, abandoned, and casted away when witnessed my parents fall apart. I thought God was supposed to be the God of all our problems and could fix anything. I was young and was ignorant. My view of God changed as went through the stages of being a teen, dealing with peer pressure, drugs, alcohol and finding anything to distract me from the pain I would possibly feel at home. My life was out of control and I loved it. This lifestyle kept going till my mother discovered my drugs and dirty little secrets I had been keeping onto for so long. Seeing her cry tears of complete sorrow and brokenness I could see that the tears she was crying were a lot more passionate and deeper than of the divorce between her and my father. I had to change.

After seeing God's tears being wept through the eyes of my broken mother, I could see myself in His eyes. I didn’t like nor feel proud of what I had become.

After recommitting my life and allowed the Lord, Jesus Christ transform my life. Since October of 2008 I have been following Christ. This is not to say I don’t have struggles anymore, because I do, but through Christ being at the center of my life I have been stronger with him than I have been when I was living a life of self-pleasure.

I am currently one of the worship leaders with the Church, The Rock in Seal Beach, CA. being and making disciples. I am also a student at Vanguard University of Southern California and am due to graduate in the fall of 2014 with a Bachelor’s of Arts in Worship Studies. This major has equip to be a productive Leader and Servant in everything I do.
