Ministerio del Corazón
Throughout POP’s history the call from God has been simple: remember the under-served. Serve and care for those who are sick and suffering; and those whose first language is not English.
In 2014, the King, as Christ is referred to in Matt. 25:40, opened POP’s eyes and heart to a growing populatin of the sick and suffering. Despite the faithful work of Chaplains visiting patients throughout the City of Houston
a growing need exists for Spiritual Care to Spanishspeaking patients. Through prayer and reflection, the POP Staff heard Christ’s clarion call to act. His promise remains, He will go before us and with us into the harvest fields.
In His perfect timing, God brought about a pathway through local churches with Spanish-speaking congregations to train bilingual POP Lay Chaplains.
POP has trained 23 of Christ’s beloved from San Pablo-Trinity Presbyterian Church and Iglesia Fuente de Esperanza, an active worshiping community of Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church.
Join us as we watch how God cares for the many soulful expressions in the first languages of His people! Congratulations to the following POP Lay Chaplains!
Damaris Abreu, Domitila Aldana, Gleide Ávila, Imelda S. Carrillo, Waleska Cepeda, Daniel Chávez, Reverend Gregory Davis, Israela Francisco, María Galván, Anastacio Gonzalez-Ixcoy, Raul Montejo, Oriana Olívio, Silvia Ontiveros, Maria del Carmen Pecero, Marina Porras, Mario Porras, Yvonne Ramírez, Angelly Silva, José Toro, Norma L. Valdery, Brenda Vega, María Villarruel
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’” (Matthew 25:40)
