Winnie Joy used to go the SALISBURY BAPTIST TEMPLE KINDERGARTEN. She would come up with the most convicting “sayings”. One was,”if it isn’t your best it´s sin” I WAS CONVICTED! still am as a matter of fact, not that it´s done much good! She also still says, J.O.Y. (her middle name), Jesus, Others, Yourself,to have […]

As Director of the Hispanic Youth Institute, better known as HYS, I remember watching hundreds of high school students every year assemble in ¨familias¨ and walk across a stage to receive a simple recognition from the Hispanic College Fund.

What is my definition of who we are?
My feeble definition of our ministry is doing something without an agenda or motives, for the good of someone else. Just my take on it. Winnie is my example. She´s quiet, industrious, righteous, and gets it done. You don´t even know what she´s doing, but you see a LOT of people being blessed. She doesn´t even […]

The small things like second chances..
In OCS we had to roll our socks in such a way, that when the black hats would open your locker, your sock´s would actually looking like they were smiling at them. If in your hurry, the rolled socks were put in upside down you socks frowned at the black hats, and your day was […]
Who and What is being called?
Calling is a funny word. This is Dean, and this is just my personal observations. I think most people “called” feel like it´s not such a good thing, but it really is. Bottom line, it isn’t a decision. It´s what you have going on inside you, directed from God. Churches all have one thing in […]
