Benjamin Aguirre and Family in Concert




            Benjamin Aguirre and his family will be offering a concert on September 29 in our worship center.  We have been blessed to have Benjamin on our staff for approximately four years now.  Bro. Benjamin serves as the Spanish Language Ministry associate in our church.  Through this part-time role he leads the Spanish worship service utilizing the great musical talent and spiritual gift God has given him.  Additionally Benjamin exercises his pastoral call through teaching on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights, and through pastoral care, assisting Rolando Aguirre in various ways.



            Previous to coming to Calvary and RGBI (Rio Grande Bible Institute) from Mexico City, Benjamin had been ministering as a Christian musician and production engineer along with other Christian music artists touring in Mexico and in other international venues.  He felt God call him to pastoral ministry.  So he came to RGBI to study for pastoral ministry. When we invited Benjamin to join our staff, he was a student at RGBI and held a student visa.


  
        Once Benjamin graduated we asked him to remain on our staff and we entered into an agreement with RGBI to request the processing of his religious worker visa and subsequently his residency.  We have been involved in this immigration process for sometime now and are close to finalizing it.




          On September 29 at 6:30 Benjamin will offer a classical guitar solo concert in our worship center.  His family will also feature for a portion of the concert.  A love offering will be received toward helping with the immigration process expense.  We strongly feel that God has brought Benjamin to minister at Calvary and are committed to doing all we can for him to stay with us long term.  Come to be blessed by the Aguirre family's musical talent and to be a blessing to their ministry.  Invite friends for an evening of inspiration.
