This is the journey God has taken me , growing up during the civil war in El salvador , coming to the United States as an illegal alien and working in the fields in Washington state to Seminary at Andrews University and using me to minister to those who are suffering .

To live is Christ .
We live in an age where people live in search of " happiness " some spend all their money trying to buy things and thinking that "if I can have that, I will be happy " other give themselves to sexual passions and spend their lives seeking for meaning in life ,doing those things which are the privilege of marrieage , the words " fornication and adultery " are foreign to many today .Families , spent all their savings going and gambling what they could have used to benifit the one who is need . Life in this posmodern age ,has become self centered , and people kill to steal that which they can not have . The word of God , gives us timeless lessons of faith and surrender , the apostle Paul in the book of Philipians says " For me to live is Christ and to die is gain" What ! To live is christ ? in America we have freedom , and we can say "Iam a christian " and the most people can do is , laugh at you . But in the time of the apostle Paul to be A Christian was to be willing to die for Christ , in fact , when the apostle wrote those words , he was a prisoner for preaching the gospel . Many of us , say today that we are Christians , but our lives deny our own words , there is no difference between the person who believes in God and the Atheist , both live the same way ! But not Paul , the question we need to ask is , if we know that we are not doing good , how can we get right with God , How can we have that passion for Christ , ready to die for him. I want to submit to you ,that we need to see Christ , the apostle Paul in his way to Damascus , he met Jesus and after that his life was not the same . Have you met Jesus ,really ? Has your life change ? are you doing the same things you were doing before , with the only difference that now you hide ? friends is time to surrender our lives to Jesus and to trust him as his word , and to learn to live by everyword that preceeds out of the mouth of God . Blessings in the name of Jesus .
