Universal Connections is committed to providing cutting-edge services in English/Spanish to academic, corporate, military, health care institute, profit/non-profit organizations and faith-base institutes. Gustavo and Albesa “Abby” Vela are extremely honored and humbled to be the founders of Universal Connections…Linking People Together. In 1985, while Gustavo was serving in the United States Air Force in Germany, Abby received a vision from the Lord. This vision was to start a training center that will provide training, in-services, and presentations and more to all in their community, whether local, state or national. With a passionate calling that would change their lives and their community, they returned to South Texas. They continue to believe that each individual has a purpose and destiny in life, because God has a great love planned for all of us. So believe in God and watch Him change your life!
