Violence from members of a Colombian drug cartel, and violence from members of a Chicago gang, were used by God to call Rev. Mauricio Franco to serve in the Office of the Holy Ministry in the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod. With such a background as his, one might think Pastor Franco would be lacking a sense of humor. Such an assumption would be very far from the truth.
Despite all the extreme struggles Pastor Franco suffered through on his way to serve in the ministry, in this interview he shares the laughter and joy he now has as he serves near the border with America and Mexico. If you take time to listen to this interview, you will discover how God works in the lives of a variety of people in a variety of ways. Most assuredly, you will find in Pastor Mauricio Franco a model of selfless service to the crucified and risen Christ. In short, prepare to be inspired.
