I enjoyed digging deeper into Pastor Alfredo del Rosso's story in my latest for @HolinessToday.

Our office received a request today from a district superintendent about a church with an upcoming pastoral review.
They wanted to know more about the history of the church.
We sent them what we knew from our records.
Just one of the things we do.
