I had the privledge of preaching at Mundo De Fe Christian Church last Sunday at their 2 PM service.  MDFCC meets in the LR Church building on Sunday afternoons at 2 PM and on Wednesday nights at 7 PM.  MDFCC is a spanish speaking church.  They have used our building for about 6 months.  I was there to celebrate their four year anniversary.  They had a special day planned to honor their past four years.  The church has grown from one family to over 80 members.  They had a little over 100 people in their Sunday assembly.  They pastor of Mundo De Fe is Sergio MacQuil.  Sergio helps our church by serving at the Food for the Hungry ministry.  He has four children and wonderful wife named Monica.  One of the things that impressed me on Sunday [...]
