Holy Spirit “Abundantly Present” during Worship in a Converted Garage
Tom Kay can sum up the first Spanish-language Faith Alive weekend in five words: “The Lord was with us!”
Kay, a Faith Alive team leader based east of Dallas, Texas, says the June 10-12 event at Iglesia San Miguel, a burgeoning Anglican mission in the Diocese of Fort Worth, was the best he ever has attended, despite the fact that he does not speak Spanish.
From Kay’s first meeting with San Miguel’s vicar, Fr. Sergio Diaz, “the Spirit of the Lord was abundantly present … and intensified through the planning process.
God is good. May He bless this people even more.
The charts for this congregation and San Juan Apostal, the other Hispanic parish, are gone (no remnant parishes, apparently), so I’m operating on memory, but I think San Miguel is only a few years old (5 or 6 maybe?). Both congregations have enjoyed remarkable growth, no surprise given the Hispanic migration into this area, but (again, from memory), San Juan was running 700+ ASA.
God is indeed good!
