Today’s Advent Sharing comes from Rev. Dr. Pablo Morataya. He is the pastor of Primera Iglesia Presbiteriana Hispana (among many things that he does) as is a vocal, effective and authentic voice for the revolutionary message of the gospel for all those who are on the margins. Involved in many efforts to bring good news to our city through compassionate solidarity and advocacy for the recently immigrated in terms of legal issues, language acquisition and material support – he (and the community he leads) are building the Kingdom of God in the midst of Oakland. He is someone who repeatedly gives me hope, perspective and rekindles my passion.
