Luis Miguel’s parents were dedicated evangelical missionaries in Mexico, but growing up, he wanted no part of his parents’ religion. He had dreams to pursue that didn’t include God. Then his mother was diagnosed with cancer, and before Luis Miguel realized what was happening, she passed away.

Nobody expected it to last as long as it has, nobody experienced anything like it. No one could imagine the devastation and the effect it would have upon the UK and the rest of the world.
But despite all suffering and gloom, a ray of light and hope was born….Source: https://adventist.uk/news/article/go/2020-12-17/24-members-trained-and-equipped-for-evangelism-in-wales/
It Is Not What We Call Ourselves that Matters Most
by Sam Chen | 16 December 2020 | My daughter became a Catholic today. One might think she was pressured to do this, but she says ‘No.’ Her understanding husband was raised Catholic (even steeped in it), but is barely a practicing Catholic now.
