Cristo Sanador MCC Says Good-bye To Rev. Pablo Navarro-Hernández
On July 27, 2003, Rev. Pablo Navarro-Hernández will end his
more than seven-year ministry at Cristo Sanador MCC. Our Community is
saddened by Pablo's departure but we understand God has called him to
other ministries. MCC reached Puerto Rico because of Pablo's passion
and desire to create a safe place for all children of God. We know his
skills and leadership will support other churches and Regions of MCC.
After Pablo's resignation, the Board of Administration appointed Revs.
Edgard Danielsen-Morales and Manuel Guzmán-Arizmendi as Interim
Co Pastors of the Church. We ask for your prayers during this time of
transition while we move to a new phase in the ministry of MCC in Puerto
Rico.
