The City

Hey Justin, I am so grateful for you sharing your gifts with Mercy Hill.  You have helped us grow our ministry in the areas of worship and expression these last few months.  It never felt like you were performing for us on Sunday but humbly leading us to the throne of grace to be renewed.

Glad it was helpful Michael, thanks for stopping in to say so.

Phil, thanks for coming over, sharing our burden, and hearing the stories we have to tell.  It blessed us to praise God together with you over the grace he has poured out on our family.

John, there have been four churches that have played big parts in the spiritual heritage of the Viera-Flores (my grandparents) and Sauceda-Viera (my parents) clans: the Christian-Missionary Alliance, the Presbyterian Church, the Southern Baptist Convention, and the Christian Reformed Church.  And these churches continue to make “cameos” into my life.  God, it turns out, has a poetic sense of “coincidence” in his divine storytelling.

They talked about this article on NPR this week!
