Pastor Pablo

This past week I met many, many cool people! I was driving various folks to and from the airport who were attending a conference. The conference was meant mainly for pastors, but youth pastors, church planters, and justice and mercy ministers were there too.

So as I'm waiting to take the final group to the hotel on Monday, this Hispanic guy walks in. It's just me and him for awhile so we chat it up during that time.

His name is Pablo, and he's born in L.A., raised in Santiago, Chile. I know, a little crazy in terms of coincidence with my life. So we talked about what his ministry is like back in California, as well as what my current ministry in Colorado and future ministry plans will look like. He was so cool, as he showed the Spanish hospitality by giving me his email address. He says he has lots of contacts in Argentina, one of the options for me, and that he would make sure I was in good hands were I to go.

Turns out the man is kind of a hot shot in the Spanish Covenant church. And I have his contact info. As Noah would say, "What now?!"

More importantly, so cool to meet such a kind man who's heart is all for meeting the needs of the Spanish speakers in L.A.
