Edgar López Bertrand, known as Brother Toby, was one of the most influential and controversial pastors in the history of El Salvador.
From a rebellious child in Villa Delgado to a leader of multitudes, he built a religious empire that encompassed temples, schools, and media outlets. But his life was also marked by shady business dealings, three divorces, an arrest by the FBI in Houston, and a death surrounded by rumors.
In this episode, we explore:
– His childhood marked by absence and rebellion.
– The meteoric rise of the Friends of Israel Baptist Biblical Tabernacle.
– His arrest in 2005 for document forgery in the United States.
– His political ties to Salvadoran presidents.
– The controversy surrounding his legacy and the succession of his son, Toby Jr.
A profound account that blends faith, power, and controversy in the life of a figure who still divides opinions in El Salvador.

Dios en gloria lo tiene.
Acepte a Cristo como mi Salvador Personal en el.año 1996 en el TBBAI central fui servidor de camaras cuando se inicio ese ministerio y fui parte de OPJ, Guardianes de la Ciudad, Swat y muchos mas
Mi pastor Edgar Lopez Bertrand (Toby)sus preficas fueron de una gran influencia espiritual en mi vida aunque NUNCA lo conoci personalmente.
Me fui de El Salvador el 2001 a USA hasta hoy y sigo haciendo lo mismo : evangelizar y servir al Señor.
E testficado evangelizado de Jesucristo a cientos de personas de muchos diferentes paises aqui en USA no solo en español sino en ingles (mas en ingles , Funny)
Aunque muchos lo señalaron, criticaron, lo juzgaron, y condenaron etc , sin conocerlo yo le doy Gracias a Dios por su vida . . . NUNCA NUNCA sera olvidado ...amen 🙏
quedaba en donde ahora creo q es los cebollines frente a galerías escalón, muchas cosas q paso no salen y otras q salen o las conocía como lo de la discoteca, pero a mi Pastor si, aprendí mucho de Él.
