Photo of the Week-3/23-3/30

i love this photo. and i loved this week. this group from canada came down and did a tremendous job. they were so polite and so kind and well-behaved. we never had to worry about them or wonder if they were going to get into trouble. they were just a great group of kids. but most of all they were such an encouragement to romano.

partnership is what our ministry is all about. relationships. encouragement. discipleship. and this team loved on romano like they had known him their whole lives.

romano is an incredible guy. not quite 30 and a pastor, soccer coach, counselor, translator. he wears so many hats and truly is a man after god's heart and his people. after starting his journey as an illegal immigrant from haiti, he worked hard, educated himself and found a place in the G.O. Ministries family. his dedication to god's word and desire to bring more Christ followers into God's kingdom is such an inspiration to me and probably most that have come in contact with him.

you could see how revived romano was this week. its not an easy job, what he does, and even the most sold out soldier for Christ needs a little pick-me-up now and then. and that is exactly what westside was for him. he already has an infectious smile but this week it was beaming.
