How did you end up in Little Village? My family and I ended up at LVCC seeking a local church about 15 years ago. We had attended churches outside of our community for many years.
What brought you to La Villita Community Church? What keeps you here? My family and I sensed that God wanted us to attend. The people are fantastic. The friendships that have been developed over the years are invaluable. We have seen God perform great miracles over the years.
How did you come to know Jesus? I was at a point in my life where I was denying the existence of God when He decided to reveal Himself in a mighty and powerful way. I believe in Him.
What are some initiatives in the neighborhood that you are a part of? I serve on various community organizations that contribute to the economic stimulus of the community. I am a Commissioner with the Little Village Chamber of Commerce' Special Area # 5. Also, I serve as Vice President of the Little Village Community Council. In addition to these I've served with both Sinai Hospital and St. Anthony Hospital's Health and Wellness Initiatives that have impacted our community.
What are your spiritual gifts? Spiritual Gifts. Difficult for me to answer since I hope someone would say to me what they see in me. I know that I have compassion on people and I try to be supportive.
What does community mean to you? Community to me means family. Togetherness.
