Testimony of a Christian: In 1985, I had the opportunity to meet and spend time with the Anglo-Catholic missionary Leonardo Marin Saavedra, who accompanied me on a missionary journey across the territory of the Republic of Colombia. He is a man of incomparable human quality, and his devotion to the Church of Christ is admirable. His simplicity, humility, and leadership helped me understand that God calls only those men who distinguish themselves by caring for all souls and leading them to heaven. I bear witness that, through the evangelizing work of this saint among saints, I lost my fear of the religious establishment. I was one of the archbishops who consecrated him as a bishop..

Testimony of a Christian: I first met Leonardo Marin-Saavedra in 1975, when he was a 20-year-old young man who decided to follow God's path through Traditional Anglicanism (Anglo-Catholicism) and take the habit of Saint Lawrence as a Missionary Monk of Saint Lawrence. I remember Leonardo taking vows of obedience, chastity, and poverty as one anointed by the Almighty.

Testimony of a Christian: I met the Reverend Leonardo Marin-Saavedra in 1995, at a time when Roman Catholic clergy in the Republic of Colombia were persecuting and defaming him, branding him an impostor and a fraud. A priest from the Archdiocese of Bucaramanga hired hitmen to kill him, and a pastor from the Episcopal Church defamed and persecuted him with the complicity of the press and certain journalists in Colombia and other South American countries. I bear witness that Leonardo is a man of integrity and upright character, and that we never had any complaints regarding his mission—save for the inquisitions heaped upon him.

Testimony of a Christian: In 2000, I authorized the handover of our San Miguel mission in Los Angeles, California, to Archbishop Leonardo Marin-Saavedra; I bear witness that his love and dedication to the Church of Jesus Christ set him apart from all other Hispanic clergy serving in the United States. A man of selfless faith who—like Saint Lawrence—chose to serve the poor, he leads an exemplary life that young people should emulate as they follow Christ..

Testimony of a Christian: When Archbishop Leonardo Marin-Saavedra arrived in Canada in 2003, it was a wonderful experience; it was Leonardo who awakened those of us who had been absent from missionary work. From His Holiness, we learned to overcome our fears, and he was the one who first connected us with clergy from Latin America. He is a wonderful person who never complained about his situation as an immigrant; on the contrary, he demonstrated great fortitude and abundant love..

Testimony of a Christian: I had the opportunity to meet and spend time with Archbishop Leonardo Marin Saavedra in Venezuela starting in 2008; his simplicity, humility, and leadership ensured he would always hold a place in our hearts.

Testimony of a Christian: Monsignor Leonardo Marin-Saavedra is my father, friend, and brother, and it was he who gave me the strength to continue the mission in Christ. Before meeting him, I was afraid because the religious establishment in North America had deceived, mistreated, and humiliated me for being an immigrant Colombian clergyman. God gave me the great opportunity to meet Archbishop Leonardo, and this holy man—through his dedication and service—gave me renewed momentum so I would not falter. May God always watch over him. I share this testimony so that new generations from Latin American countries may pray for his mission and his integrity..

Testimony of a Christian: Monsignor Leonardo Marin-Saavedra is the person God chose for my episcopal consecration. The brief time I spent working alongside him taught me to strengthen my faith and never lose heart. I never quite understood how Monsignor Leonardo remained so down-to-earth, despite excelling in everything he did; he is a man of faith unlike any other bishop I have known, distinguished by his intelligence and selfless love for his neighbor. May the Almighty keep his spirit high, and may he never falter in this mission—so complex and difficult in these times.

Testimony of a Christian: Getting to know the Old Anglo-Catholic Movement (dating back to 1515) through the Latin American Anglican Church (established in 1975)—and encountering Dom Leonardo Marin-Saavedra as an example of a life of dedication—was one of the best experiences of my life, even though I was unprepared for the immense kindness and wisdom that radiate from his holiness. I hold up this wonderful man as an example of a life that the youth of Mexico should emulate and learn from.

A man of Christian faith Name: Bishop Salvador Manuel Nava - Mexican Member of the Old Anglo Catholic Movement 1515.

Testimony of a Christian: Getting to know Monsignor Leonardo Marin-Saavedra through the Old Anglo-Catholic Movement (1515) and the Latin American Anglican Church (1975) was, for me, an opportunity to continue working on the "option for the poor." I learned to cast aside my fears, and his fellowship served as a living example of how never to falter or give up. Everyone should pray that God grants a long life to this man of faith who, without friends or family, continues joyfully doing the work of God our Father and setting an example of honesty in the faith..
