Pastor Seldonio threw a big fiesta for his son, Diego’s, first birthday. Martin and Juan, the True Path Ministry team for this adventure, made the two hour trip on Friday. Pastor Seldonio is a relative of Pastor Santiago who lives in Refugio, the village we have visited several times.

A few months ago, Diego was in the hospital for two weeks with pneumonia. He was struggling to live. You may recall Pastor Seldonio and Pastor Santiago came by the ministry house a few months ago.

We are thankful to Jesus for healing Diego! This party gave family and friends a great opportunity to praise the Lord for saving this precious boy.

Both pastors are wonderful servants of the Lord and good friends. We knew it would be a special time and we wanted to show the love of Jesus by attending. It turned out Martin was asked to preach and he gave a moving sermon. Juan had not taken any instruments but he was moved to worship so he borrowed a guitar and began singing pra

ises to Christ along with the hundred or so guests who had come.
