He was a natural writer with bible studies for the whole bible and Theologica­l & Historical research. His sermons always reflected upon these. He loved Israel and was a constant follower of the Israeli news; it was only in 2019 when his children did a DNA test, that it was revealed his blood ties to the people of Israel as well. Ashkenazi Jew and

European Sephardic ancestry; He didn’t have the time to do it for himself, but he had great joy with this discovery.

His first spiritual book ‘Menos que nada’ (Less than nothing), explained his position and mindset in which he expressed that his own life was nothing without the Lord and it continued to be so until his last breath. He knew what his mission was, and he endured it with dignity as a humble servant, though he was characteri­zed for his strong leadership. The funerary services and honours were a beautiful prove of that.

He had pride in his children.

“The sudden day he got into intensive care in the hospital; we (Benjamin and I) were abroad in Brussels, Belgium. I couldn’t travel right away; but Benjamin took the first flight. The first thing he did, was pray for our father and let him know that we understood his time had come; and second, to get his blessings. A couple of minutes later he passed away. It was clear he was waiting for Benjamin to arrive”-Lidia Esther Rev. Aviles is survived by his wife Dr. Dalia Ayala, his daughter Lidia Esther Aviles яi, and his son Jose Benjamin Aviles kg, in Nicaragua, Belgium and America.
