Father's Day, Santiago, 2010

This is Nelson, liturgist for the Moca congregation, Cordero de Dios. Next to him is his daughter, Marinelsy. Nelson leads the congregation in the opening liturgy of the church service and then pastor Alex goes up front to give the sermon. When they change places, Nelson goes to the back and gets his daughter and has her sit with him during the sermon.





This is Eduadro, also with his two daughters. Society sends parents many messages about caring for children: giving them an education, proper nutrition, protecting them from harm. But how often do we hear any encouragement to train them spiritually? What a blessing for the future of these children, and of our nation, to have fathers who give honor to God by training their children in spiritual ways.


Fathers shaping their children's lives; teaching them to love and serve their heavenly Father who has provided all we have and are.
