Imperial Valley Christian Center

Received the following email thanking us for our Spanish Language T.V. program, :30 Minutos Al Buen Éxito, which is broadcast in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico, on their Ch 66. I've omitted his last name to preserve his privacy:

Hola Goyo, buenas tardes,

Mi nombre es David … vivo en Mexicali y he visto tu programa del domingo en la mañana por canal 66.

Quisiera decirte que me gusta mucho y tambien quiero aprovechar este correo para agradecerte profundamente por este mensaje que envias y que a mi, como seguramente a muchas personas mas, nos llena de fe y esperanza de que mejores cosas vendran de Dios para nosotros si fortalecemos nuestra fe, tambien te agradezco por enseñarnos como entender y creer en la palabra de Dios.
Seguire viendo tu programa.

Gracias de nuevo y que Dios los bendiga Goyo,

David …

Here's the Greg translation:

Hello Goyo, good afternoon,

I wanted to post something to mark the passing of our friend Debbie Graff. Debbie was with us when we first started Imperial Valley Christian Center. Later, when her husband became ill, she moved away from El Centro. He eventually died and Debbie and her daughter, Rachel, decided to attend Jerry Savelle's Bible School in Crowley, Texas near Forth Worth. I kind of lost track of her after that but would hear from time to time  that she had visited someone or someone had visited her. Now, as her friend Lupe Ruiz says, she has graduated to heaven.

If I had to pick one word to describe Debbie it would be joy. She was always smiling. She endured a great many hardships in the short time I knew her and yet the image that comes to mind when I think of her is of Debbie smiling.

She never gave up fighting to receive the things God had for her and her family. She fought a good fight, she kept the faith, and now the prize awaits her. Debbie Graff October 22, 1954 to June 25 2006.
