This is one of the reasons I love being on staff, for being a part of stuff like this.

Poster for the upcoming “Cumbre de Alabanza” (Spanish for “Worship Summit”)When we started doing this event 5 years ago to serve Latino students around the Greater LA area, “we” was just Abner Ramos & I working together on the side, adding to our otherwise already full plates as campus staff, and our hopes were that a few students would come, maybe 30 or 40.

Now, serving with La Fe - InterVarsity’s Latino student ministry - is a key part of our job description (ok, its all of Abner’s job now), and “Cumbre” has become one of several things we are doing to reach and develop Latino students, and is now annual event drawing that we anticipate drawing in close to 200 students. Our La Fe ministry in Los Angeles was even recently featured in an article in this month’s edition of El Inter, a widely circulating Spanish-language Christian newspaper.

Just like Moses could never have anticipated how his experience with God would change after the burning bush, I don’t think either Abner nor I could have anticipated all that God would do when we first stepped out in leading the first Cumbre. Not that we’ve divided the sea yet, but God is doing a great thing through La Fe to impact Latino college students here in Los Angeles.

If you can make it, we’d love to have you join us on November 16th at Claremont McKenna College for this year’s “Cumbre de Alabanza.”
