I hope this letter finds you embracing the grace of our Lord, wherever God's sovereignty may currently have you in life's journey. I am back in the USA, writing to you from California.
My recent time in Mexico left a wound on my heart, as almost daily, I had the opportunity to minister to individuals ensnared in gangs, addictions, prostitution, immigration woes, and other hardships. Amidst these challenges, God allowed me weekly do in-depth Bible studies with some hungry folks. And many times, I got to share my testimony of how Christ Jesus repeatedly has graciously worked in my life.
Speaking of sharing my story, it's one of the reasons I've returned to the USA. Since the publication of my book, ‘Confessions: A Memoir of Hope for the Suffering,’ I've been blessed with invitations to share my life story, insights, and heart with those who could use some encouragement. With heartfelt gratitude, I embrace these opportunities to connect and speak before audiences—whether in churches, prisons, or community initiatives—all with the aim of offering hope, encouragement, and support to those in need.
My prayerful aspiration is to extend a helping hand to those who are silently suffering, and eventually to resume ministry in Latin America, reaching out to those ensnared by the chains of Satan.
If your church, school, or community program would also consider granting me the privilege of addressing your members, please reach out. The stark reality is that an overwhelming number, more than 50% of the U.S. population, including a vast quantity of Christians, grapple with silent battles such as depression, loneliness, suicidal thoughts, addiction, and sexual confusion. We must engage in candid, honest discussions infused with God’s Word regarding these ‘taboo’ topics. In addition to speaking, I would be honored to facilitate group sessions for deeper discussions, should there be an interest.
May the Lord continue to guide and bless our collective efforts as we strive to shine Christ’s light into the darkest corners of this world.
