Greetings
from the chill of the Chilean winter! Things have definitely gotten pretty chilly in Chile Southern
California
summer soon and look forward to seeing as many of you as I can this summer.
Please read below for more details and I’ll hope to see you soon!
FIRST: I
will be home in California California Huntington Beach 1pm just after the 3rd
service. I will also be preaching at all 3 of CPC’s morning services (8am,
9:30am, 11am) that Sunday so if you would like to come early to one of those
and hear me preach you are more then welcome to do that as well. CPC is located
at: 20112 Magnolia St. , Huntington Beach , CA 92646
SECOND: After
2.5 years without having anyone to lead our worship and music ministry, we
finally have someone who is talented, gifted, called, and passionate! I can not tell you how
grateful, excited, and relieved I am that Manuel and his wife Leticia have started
coming to Fuego Urbano and taken over that ministry. Manuel and Pepe worked at
the same school a few years ago, and when I first came down we spoke quite a
bit with him and his wife about worship & music, and Fuego Urbano.
Manuel and I had spent a few hours on a number of occasions playing worship
songs with guitars and talking about music, worship, etc. and we offered him
that whole ministry about 2.5 years ago when we were first starting out. Manuel
and his wife are solid believers and Manuel has a really huge heart and love
for people, not to mention we both share very similar tastes in music and
worship as far as what we like and don’t like. Anyway, at that time they were
not able to be part of Fuego Urbano because we started meeting in Las Compañías
which was just too far away for them to be able to participate. At that time I
was super bummed because I knew Manuel and his wife would be perfect for our vision
and the kind of music and worship we would like to have. Then when we were
meeting in the hotel in front of the beach last summer, they wanted to come but
could not because they have two small children and at that time we did not have
any developed children’s ministry, so again they could not come. Now, however,
we have a solid children’s ministry and a few of the women who have taken
charge in sharing the responsibility for it, so Manuel and his wife came for
the first time in 2.5 years to Fuego Urbano and loved it. It has been so hard
to start a church with basically no worship or music ministry, and I at times
have filled in on the Sundays I do not preach, but I do not have a passion,
calling, or real gift for that kind of thing. Anyway, Manuel has led worship
for us on the past 3 Sundays and it has added so much to our gatherings…I was
not aware of how bad we missed it until now when we finally have it again. Anyway,
we are super excited and relieved to have Manuel and his wife Leticia with us
and ask that you would pray for them and that God would bless them in their
roles as they lead that ministry. Below is a picture of (from left to right)
Manuel, Felipe, Genesis, Genesis’
cousin, and myself from the very first gathering of Fuego Urbano we ever had
about 2.5 years ago in our house, which was before we ever even started up in
Las Compañías. As you can see, Manuel and his wife (not pictured here) were
among the first 5 people who ever came to Fuego Urbano, and if anyone really
gets what we are all about and understands our vision, it is them. We are super
excited to have them back…and this time for good!!
