With this in his heart, he and his wife, Marcela, founded IMES (Instituto Ministerial del Espíritu Santo) in Cali. A great center of training and ministry of the Word of God and the anointing of the Holy Spirit, from which mature believers are sent to heal, deliver, minister and establish the kingdom of God wherever they go.

His teachings have blessed, besides Colombia, nations such as Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, El Salvador and the United States, among others. Among his best known studies are: How to Be Guided by the Holy Spirit, The Five Ministries of Jesus Christ, The Gifts of the Holy Spirit, The Foundations of the Local Church, Laws of Prosperity, Biblical Meditation, Conquering the 42 Camps of your Character, Intercession Manual and Spiritual Warfare.

Randy loved Cali, a city that was his second home. In his 36 years of ministry he was always at the forefront of the search and respect for the unity of the Body of Christ in the city and in the country. Even on the day of his departure he continued to receive in his home the apostles, pastors and elders of the city with whom he shared in unity the search for the presence of the Lord and His direction for Cali.

Another of his passions was evangelism and social work. With this motivation he and his wife created the Fundación Social Transforma, a non-profit organization that provides children, youth and adults with educational opportunities based on principles and values that help them discover their intrinsic value in God, respect for human dignity and leadership training (www.fundacionsocialtransforma).
