Hispanic Ministry Meeting Agenda and Notes Taken - May 26, 2009

Pastor Grimm, Pastor Gueterloh, Sara Toledo, Elena Cisneros, Vicar Obdulio Felix and Clara Schrader were present at Beautiful Savior.

The evaluation of the 3 day celebration/revival held at Tree of Life on May 22-24 was judged very good. The Hispanic Evangelist Speaker was excellent. He gave several illustrations in his sermons that were powerful and easily understood and applied by all the people. Pastor Keith sat beside one of the band members who translated the sermon for him. He was very impressed. Obdullio said there were 20 or 30 new people who came. He had their names and phone numbers and intends to follow up. There was no estimate of unpaid bills or collections received yet.

Sara has asked Wells Fargo to send the bank statement to Cross since Tree of Life has no mail box. They will be placed in Obdulio’s office at Cross.

Obdulio will work with Earl on use of Tree of Life (Old Zion Church). Earl is the new manager of the Tree of Life facility. Earl's knee surgery will be June 2. The personal property insurance annual premium ($508) has been paid. This insurance covers all of the electronic equipment used in the worship services of Iglesia Luterana Jesus es el Senior. Scott will transfer the van title to Iglesia Luterana congregation as soon as he has time. We need to have several forms completed yet; Driver Information, Loss History, and Property list.

We discussed securing a green card (permanent residency permit) for Obdulio and his family. Government fees approximately $3,595 plus attorney fees $2,925. The total is $6,520 for the whole Felix family of 4.

They expect 150 children at Vacation Bible School at Tree of Life this year. Clara will order the bilingual materials from Divine Truth. Beautiful Savior will have teacher informational meetings Thursday, June 11 at 7 – 8 p.m., Tuesday June 16, 7 to 8 pm, and Thursday June 18, 7 to 8 pm. They were urged to attend at least one of these meetings.

Beautiful Savior members will help canvas the Zion neighborhood for VBS on Wednesday, July 1st at 6 pm.

Obdulio and family will go to Mexico on vacation June 7 through June 15. Obdulio was given Connie Borchurs' phone number (888.643-2961) to discuss Obdulio's part in the Friday evening dinner. He needs to register and also give the number of people Obdulio is bringing with him.

Obdulio requested moving the office desk at Cross to his home because he needed a desk for his files and to work from. When Earl allows him, he will move it to Tree of Life. Pastor Ralph approved of this idea. He also requested information on the future planned usage of Cross facilities.

A 6 month plan and a budget will be planned when Obdulio returns from Mexico. Clara, Sara, and Elena will review bank figures and bills this week. The next 10 o'clock meeting will be on June 23 and the next Officer-Director meeting will be at 7 p.m. on Tuesday June 23 at Tree of Life.
