Zusammenfassung:La Luz del Mundo is one of the fastest-growing religious movements in the world. It seems to have experienced no decline even after his current leader, Naasón Joaquín García, was arrested and detained in California on charges of sexual abuse in 2019. The article reconstructs the origins of La Luz del Mundo in 1920s Mexico, and its growth under three subsequent leaders who have been recognized as God’s Apostles for our times, Aarón Joaquín González, Samuel Joaquín Flores, and Naasón Joaquín Garcia. At the time of thiswriting, Apostle Naasón continues to direct from his prison cell in California a church that becomes, from Mexican, increasingly globalized and international.
