Rosendo came from Mexico to study with us, became my assistant pastor and in the process became our good friend. Today he preached a tremendous sermon in our church. His great love for our people and passion for his faith was evident and greatly moved us.
Rosendo married another of my students, Sugely, who is a certified Public accountant here in Puerto Rico. He left our church last year to be a youth pastor and a Christian school teacher in another part of the island, but returned to preach and minister among us this week. He is a gifted young man: a great preacher, a compassionate evangelist and has a number of academic achievements. Besides his degree from our college, he earned a degree in Education from Mexico and is qualified to teach in the Mexican public school system. Rosendo hopes to return to his homeland and start a Church with a Christian education emphasis.
We were so proud of him today and thrilled at the news that these high quality young people are dedicating themselves to the important work of missions. If the only thing I accomplished in Puerto Rico was to train Rosendo for the ministry, I would say that it was time well spent. But there was Alex from the Dominican Republic, now a pastor in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, Tulio from Peru, Irving from Spain...! It feels like the Lord has opened wide the windows of heaven and showered us with many great opportunities for service and blessed us beyond measure by comforting us with these great assistants.
