Los ataques espirituales en contra de los pastores son brutales. Mas creo que uno de los aspectos más difíciles en la vida de un ministro es el ayudar a los malagradecidos.
Hace un poco más de dos meses que comencé a pastorear nuevamente. Para ser honesto, el pastorear no era algo en lo cual yo me quería envolver otra ves, pero he sentido la convicción de que Dios me ha lanzado a terminar la obra que El comenzó en mi hace unos años atrás en esta región de Carolina del Norte.
Los ataques espirituales en contra de los pastores son brutales. Mas creo que uno de los aspectos más difíciles en la vida de un ministro es el ayudar a los malagradecidos. Es fácil ayudar a alguien que es agradecido y que uno puede ver, aún de lejos, que esa persona experimenta crecimiento espiritual. Pero cuando uno derrama su vida ayudando a alguien y esa persona actúa como si tu ayuda es una obligación, el ministerio se hace pesado si perdemos nuestro enfoque en la Cruz de Cristo.
Por eso es que es importante que ministremos sin esperar absolutamente nada a cambio; es importante que ni tan siquiera esperemos por agradecimientos. ¡Ayúdanos Señor en este día¡

An independent thinker with a profound call to see the orthodoxy of the church and passion for Christ manifesting together. Angel was born in Brooklyn, New York in April of 1968, he was raised on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico where he earned his B.S. degree in Sociology with a minor in Education from the Inter American University in San Germán in 1991. That same year he moved to Jacksonville, Florida. After working construction jobs for a year and learning the English language, his first job working with foster-care children in the capacity of youth care worker was with Jacksonville Youth Sanctuary in September of 1992. With JYS he was promoted several times as group home supervisor, legal caseworker, and program director.
While in Jacksonville, Angel studied a couple of martial arts styles. After earning his black belt, he became the founder of Good Fight Ministries as he used martial arts as an instrument to preach the gospel. In 2004 Angel was selected Martial Arts Instructor of the Year for the State of Florida and in 2005 Angel was inducted in the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame where he also received the Christian Spirit Award. In July of 2005 Angel accepted his call to pastor a bilingual church in Winton, NC where he served for a couple of years. Five months later he lost his first wife to cancer in December of that same year. This initiated a deep valley of suffering in his life, a mountain of costly mistakes and the embracing of lifestyles of sin that are well documented through this blog.
In August of 2012 Angel moved to Fairbanks Alaska with his wife Rayette Casiano and six children who are now adults. In Alaska, Angel continued his social work-related career and his ministry of preaching, teaching and writing. Angel is the author of two books, Hope for the divorcee: Forgiving and Moving Forward and 7 Banderas de Esperanza: La Bendición de Yokdzonot. In January 8th of 2020 Angel and his wife moved to Arizona.
