The Iglesia del Dios Vivo, Columna y Apoyo de la Verdad, La Luz del Mundo, (English: "Church of the Living God, Column and Ground of the Truth, The Light of the World")—or simply La Luz del Mundo—is a Christian denomination with international headquarters in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. La Luz del Mundo (abbreviated LLDM, or sometimes The LDM) practices a form of restorationist theology centered on three leaders: founder Aarón—born Eusebio—Joaquín González (1896–1964), Samuel Joaquín Flores (1937–2014), and Naasón Joaquin García (born 1969). These three men are regarded by the Church as modern day Apostles of Jesus Christ and Servants of God.
The Church had its beginnings in 1926 just as Mexico plunged into a violent struggle between the anti-clerical government and Catholic rebels. The conflict centered in the west-central states like Jalisco, where González focused his missionary efforts. Given the environment of the time, La Luz del Mundo remained a small missionary endeavor until 1934 when it built its first temple. Thereafter the Church continued to grow and expand, interrupted only by an internal schism in 1942. Apostles; Aarón Joaquín is believed to be designated the ministry of the lord by revelation of God, then his son Samuel,there after by his son Naasón. The Church is now present in 50 countries and has between 1 and 7 million adherents worldwide.

One thing I've found
As I've moved around from town to town
It's so hard to get my blood to settle down
As sure as spring
Coats our little piece of land in green?
(When you were mine)
Only mine
(When you were mine)
I didn't have the time
(When you were mine)
Now I kinda wanna die
And that's the truest way to know that I'm alive
