God used his talent in communications in a great way. From the beginning he was able to communicate the word of God through radio, and also by preaching in the air on an airplane, to thousands of people from the early morning until late afternoon.
He was also a musician, writer and composer of more than 100 musical songs that were inspired by God, including the well known songs "Papa" and "Cuando Muera Yo" (also known as "Las Campanas Suenan Triste") the latter song being a symbolic hymn throughout Latin America, that is sung when a loved one has passed away.
