Though Claudia and I received MA's in Theology nearly 20 years ago as preparation to work with pastors and churches in Cuba, I've rarely considered that God may be calling me to pastorship. For years I've corrected those throughout Latin America who introduced me as "Pastor Kevin" when called to the pulpit to teach or preach. However in working through bylaws and church polity with the elders and a fellow Deacon of Palm Vista Community Church, God changed my heart. Now, after a lengthy process including written and oral exams, interviews and references, I will be one of two men added to the pastoral team as non-staff, bi-vocational elders at Palm Vista Community Church where my family has worshiped and served for the past 18 years. Though our missionary work has and will continue to take us throughout Central America and the Caribbean, Palm Vista has become home, and in many ways a surrogate family to our boys as they've grown. So I won't be giving up my "day job" with United World Mission and will continue serving with Claudia as full time missionaries and Regional Leaders to Central America and the Caribbean, even as I contribute to the pastoral staff of the church that our family is privileged to be part of.  If you're available, the ordination service will be this Sunday, May 22nd starting at 10:30 AM Eastern at 4450 NW 183rd St. Miami Gardens, FL 33055. You can also tune in liveor view later on PVCC's Youtube channel or our website: https://www.palmvista.org/sermons As a family we are incredibly thankful for your prayers and support that enable us to minister and care for missionaries and ministries throughout Central America & the Caribbean, as well as locally.
