7 Ways 'Conquistando Las Naciones Para Cristo' Is Shaking Up Global Catholicism In 2025
The "Conquistando Las Naciones Para Cristo" (CLNPC) movement is not a relic of old-school evangelism, but a dynamic, authorized Catholic Missionary Movement that continues its rapid global expansion. Founded by a Honduran immigrant in the United States, this lay-led ministry has transformed from a single healing retreat in 2008 into an international spiritual force operating in over 15 countries, with a full calendar of major events confirmed well into 2025.
Operating under the core scriptural mandate of Matthew 11:28—"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest"—CLNPC focuses intensely on spiritual renewal, healing, and attracting new parishioners through direct, impactful evangelization. As of late 2025, the movement continues to deploy its unique blend of radio ministry, large-scale retreats, and informal social programs to fulfill its mission of "Conquering the Nations for Christ."
The Founders and The Genesis of a Global Vision
The "Conquistando Las Naciones Para Cristo" (CLNPC) movement has a clear and humble origin story, rooted in the fervent faith of its lay founders. The movement’s leadership structure and biographical details are essential to understanding its mission and growth.
Complete Profile of the CLNPC Founders
- Primary Founder: José Bernardino García Martínez
- Co-Founder: Mayerlith García Morales
- Origin/Nationality: Honduran immigrant
- Founding Location: Dallas, Texas, USA
- Founding Year: 2008
- Initial Event: The movement was officially born during its first major healing retreat on the weekend of August 16–17, 2008.
- Role: José García, a layperson (not ordained clergy), initiated the movement, following a clear spiritual calling to preach the word of God and offer spiritual help.
The founders' initiative, beginning in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, quickly resonated with the Spanish-speaking Catholic community, particularly immigrants seeking spiritual guidance and community support in the United States. This focus on the needs of the faithful in the diaspora became a blueprint for their international expansion.
7 Core Strategies CLNPC Uses to Conquer the Nations
The success of the Catholic Missionary Movement "Conquistando Las Naciones Para Cristo" is built on a multi-faceted approach that combines traditional Catholic teaching with modern, accessible outreach methods. Their strategy is highly effective in attracting new parishioners and fostering spiritual renewal across multiple continents.
1. The Power of the Healing Retreats
CLNPC is best known for its immersive healing retreats (retiros de sanación). These multi-day events are a cornerstone of their program, focusing on spiritual and emotional healing through prayer, testimony, and the Word of God. The retreats are consistently scheduled in their annual calendar, with a major event confirmed for June 2024 in Marydel, Maryland, and another for 2025 in Sonsonate, El Salvador, confirming their ongoing, high-impact schedule.
2. Global Expansion Across 15+ Nations
The movement’s name is literal: it operates internationally, having established a presence in more than 15 countries. This global reach is a key factor in its authority, with communities established across North and Central America, including major hubs in the United States (Dallas, Houston, Cicero, Atlanta, Maryland) and active missions in countries like El Salvador.
3. The 'Conquistando Naciones Para Cristo' Radio Platform
To ensure continuous spiritual support beyond the physical retreats, CLNPC operates a dedicated digital media platform, Conquistando Las Naciones Para Cristo Radio. This platform delivers a steady stream of music, prayer, and testimonies, allowing the message of Christ to reach listeners 24/7, serving as a vital digital lifeline for the community and a powerful tool for evangelization.
4. Targeted Ministry Programs and Retreats
CLNPC has developed specialized ministries to address the needs of specific groups within the Church. These include dedicated Women's Retreats and Men's Retreats, alongside training programs like the Servers' Retreat (Retiro de Servidores). This segmentation ensures that the spiritual help and guidance provided are relevant and deeply personal to the participants.
5. Authorization and Collaboration with the Catholic Church
Crucially, the movement is an authorized Catholic movement, working in full communion with the Church hierarchy. This authorization lends credibility and legitimacy to their efforts, allowing them to host events in major parishes, such as Our Lady, The Mystical Rose Parish in Cicero, Illinois, and Immaculate Conception Parish in Marydel, Maryland, ensuring their work is integrated into the broader Pastoral Plan of the Church.
The Future Vision: Spiritual Help and Social Impact
Beyond the spiritual, the CLNPC movement has a defined focus on social impact, recognizing that the Gospel message must be accompanied by tangible support. Their vision is holistic, addressing both the soul and the immediate needs of the community.
6. Developing Informal Social Programs
A key part of their mission is the development of informal social programs for the community. This commitment goes beyond traditional evangelism, providing much-needed community support and assistance to those who are often marginalized or struggling, particularly the immigrant community in the United States.
7. A Call to the Weary: The Matthew 11:28 Mandate
The entire movement is anchored in the powerful invitation of Christ: Matthew 11:28. This scriptural basis defines their ministry as a haven for the "afflicted and overburdened" (afligidos y agobiados). The movement seeks to offer rest, hope, and true life in Christ to those who feel lost or weary in the modern world, making their message timeless and universally appealing.
The continued scheduling of major events throughout 2024 and 2025, from the US to Central America, solidifies "Conquistando Las Naciones Para Cristo" as a vital and active force in contemporary Catholicism. Under the leadership of José Bernardino García Martínez and Mayerlith García Morales, the movement is successfully leveraging retreats, media, and community outreach to keep the flame of faith burning brightly across the nations.
