As many of you know we had the Spiritual Growth Workshop the last weekend of July. I was asked to speak on the Spanish program. I thought a class on "The Lord Reigns In My Heart." I spoke infront of an all male audience, which afforded me the opportunity to hit on some "manly" topics. For the spanish language program, this was the greatest year ever. The greatest both in substance and turnout. We had Christians join us from as far as Texas, South Carolina, Georgia, and south to the end of Florida. The weekend was also very special because we had a special tribute for our dear brother Armando Alaniz. Brother Alaniz, passed away a couple of months ago. Armando was instrumental in helping us establish the eldership at Hialeah, he was also a professor at Atlantic International Bible Institute in Miami until he and his family moved back to Houston. This is just the tip of the iceberg as far as Armando, he was a teacher at Sunset school of preaching, a counselor, missionary, mentor and father. Armando was honored at the workshop through a slide show presentation and several leaders had their turns honoring him with a few words. Armando will be greatly missed, we pray for his wife Jainey, his children Armando Jr, Gloria, and Angelica, as well as the rest of his family. We can't wait to see Armando in Heaven some day.
Something else that was great was Rex Morgan gave all of the preachers that were present a complete copy of our program Con La Biblia Abierta. They were all very happy as this will be a great tool to help them preach the Gospel. We can't wait for the next workshop. This year we had approximately 400 christians join us. Maybe in two years we can double this!! We can acoomplish all things through Christ.
