Helping to get driver’s licenses
A Camino De Fe Hispanic bible study group meets at United Methodist Church
Pastoral Mission continued from page 9 Norma is a senior at Lincoln High School. She leads the youth in church, leads music but plans a different future and plans to attend LTC for a career in law enforcement. Norma is fluent in both English and Spanish and translates for church members. Norma translated for her mother for the interview for this story. Dario would like to follow in his wife’s ministry footsteps.
“I see the passion that my wife has,” he said. “That’s part of why I want to be a pastor.” He is training to become a United Methodist pastor. He also feels that having the spiritual training will allow him to help others in the Hispanic community through Mi Pueblo. It seems that the Hernandez family has managed to make a life for themselves that not only fulfills their dreams, but God’s plan as well.
Retired Pastor Neil Piepenburg has been a member of RUTH for five years, since its inception. RUTH is a part of WISDOM, one of 11 groups with like Neil Piepenburg biblical names (such as JOSHUA, CUSH, ESTHER…) around the state that aim to help those in need. Among the projects that WISDOM works on is lowering the state’s prison population by 11,000 by the year 2015 by establishing alternative treatment courts for the mentally ill, or those with alcohol and drug abuse issues. The aim is to re-educate instead of putting violators in prison or jail. Prisoners have to volunteer to abide by many restrictions and conditions in order to stay out of prison. They are monitored daily/weekly until they earn more rights. They can be put back in prison any time they mess up.

Helping workers obtain driver’s licenses is part of the RUTH organization objective. “Dairies in northeast Wisconsin would be in a world of hurt if we didn’t have Hispanic employees,” Gunderson said.

Piepenburg’s chapter is working to help make sure all drivers have a valid driver’s license. Manitowoc County, he said, has some undocumented workers behind the wheel. Unfortunately we don’t find out about the problem until they are involved in an auto accident, he added.
