Speaking at Primera Iglesia Bautista, the historic First Hispanic Baptist Church in Dallas, was a humbling experience, made all the more meaningful with the assistance of Marylin, my friend and translator. The Church carries on the mission of Jesus, which is all about love, healing, saving, freeing, serving, preaching, and teaching. With the power of the resurrection and guidance from the Spirit, the Church can endure suffering and take on the role of the servant, becoming a genuine instrument of reconciliation in a broken world.
