Alma's Biography..Biografia

English Version  (Scroll down for Spanish Version)

Recording artist Alma Rivera has just released her single “Livin’ In Your Love”, a Gospel / Contemporary Praise and Worship style track with Alma being one of the songwriters. This breathtaking piece was recorded with top of the line musicians that have worked in the past with Fred Hammond, Israel Houghton, Coko, Sound of New Breed, Nicole C. Mullen, Alvin Slaughter, Cece Winans and Martha Munizzi, among others. 
Also, CBN brought their cameras into the studios for a behind the scenes look at the recording of her EP also titled, "Livin' In your Love". But that did not stop there. CBN understood the move of God that was occurring with this production and decided to produce a music video for Alma's other single which she also co-wrote, titled "King of Glory".
“Livin’ in Your Love” is a song that captures the listeners from beginning to end, and invites them in a very animated way, to exalt God’s name. When we asked Alma what was the message she wanted to relay, she said: “There are many people that need Jesus in the world, and I want to bring hope and happiness through my music, so that people can enjoy their life in Christ and understand that He came to give us an abundant life.”
In regards of what “Livin’ in Your Love” means to Alma, she mentioned, “to me “Livin’ in Your Love” means just that. That I can live in His love day in and day out, that His unconditional love is always there, it never ends. “Livin’ In Your Love” means that I can enjoy my life to the fullest, to live in His peace, to rejoice in Him, no matter what my circumstances are. It means to be guided by His word, making it a reality, believing that his promises are real and that we have gained access to them through Jesus”.
Alma is a very happy, enthusiastic and determined person, who loves God with all her heart. She showcases a multicultural background through her music. She now lives in New York and is married to Richard M. Rivera who is also her manager. Her musical influences are very clear: Fred Hammond, Israel Houghton, Darlene Zschech, Da’dra Crawford, Natalie Grant and Cece Winans among many others.
When we inquired about her ministry she told us: “I received my calling when I was 16 years old, and from that moment on, I gave my life to the Lord to worship him and help other to fulfill their purpose in life. I can describe my ministry in three phases; responsibility, integrity and commitment. 
Although Alma may seem like a new recording artist on the Christian scene, she is not. She has been active doing ministry work since 1994, working in her local church, supporting her pastors, going on mission trips and working with the Canzion logistics team for the annual Praise and Worship Conference, interacting with renowned psalmists like Marco Barrientos, Luis Enrique Espinoza, Danilo Montero, David Greco, Miguel Cassina, Chuy Olivares, Ron Kenoly, Crystal Lewis and Marcos Vidal among others.
After graduating from Instituto Canzion, Alma travelled throughtout Mexico, Canada, USA, Puerto Rico and Argentina as a Worship Leader. At the same time she also built and trained several worship teams. In 2002 she was given the position as worship leader for the renowned Vision Internacional Ministries in Queretaro, Mexico which housed over 1,500 people. In addition to that, she was also in charge of the choir, the lead singers, the worship team and lead worship during the annual conference “En Su Presencia”. This conference would bring together over 6,000 people every year from all the Vision International churches worldwide, featuring preachers like Tommy Tenney, Sam Hinn and Danilo Montero among many others.
Alma has sang in Times Square in front the MTV Studios, and has lead worship at Upper Room Christian World Center, a mega-church located in Long Island. Alma was also featured as a special guest on the Dino & Cheryl Kartsonakis show on TBN.
Now days, Alma is ministering at conferences, events and churches. This upcoming August 19th Alma will be featured twice on “El Club 700” (Spanish 700 Club) in Nashville. On Sunday August 29th, Alma will be the special guest during the Spanish worship service at Lakewood Church in Houston Texas.

Empezo a cantar desde muy temprana edad desde los 4 anios , pero cuando empezo a desarrollar mas el don que Dios le dio fue haciendo coros  a su Mama junto con sus dos hermanas menores.

Alma a esa edad no habia entendido el llamado que tenia, sino a la edad de 20 anios recibe una palabra del Senor  en Isaias 61  y decide prepararse e ingresa al Instituto Biblico de Misiones Mundiales en Morelia ,Mexico. Durante dos anios internada y aprendiendo en diferentes practicas ministeriales en las cuales incluia todo lo que se refiere al Servicio, limpiaba, construia Iglesias, Dirigia alabanza, Predicaba.,

Al ultimo anio de terminar su estudios tiene la oportunidad de hacer su Ministerio Practico en Canzion Producciones Durango, Mex.

Ahi fue cuando Dios le habla directo y por medio de Marcos Witt le hace saber que el siguiente lugar para prepararse  en la adoracion , no solo en la musica, era Durango en el anio 1996.

Y es cuando ingresa a CCDMAC ( Instituto Canzion) en el ano  1996 , estando en Durango comienza a participar en diferentes viajes y conciertos enla Rep. Mexicana

En el ano 2002  recibe la invitacion para colaborar con Ministerios Vision Internacional en la c.d de Queretaro y Reynosa Mexico.para dirigir el gpo de Alabanza tanto enla iglesia local como enlos Congresos internacionales en Su Presencia en Mexico.

Viendo la necesidad que habia en Reynosa por musicos adoradores su mision se convertiria en iniciar uan escuela de adoracion llamada CEDEM con la vision de no solo preparer musicos sino adoradores.
