Pastor Rick Del Rio
Giant Slayer (AGM 1.0) More Details“I came to know the Lord in 2005, but it wasn’t until I was hospitalized for depression after Hurricane Sandy that I ever really understood grace.” Read more.
William Alvarez
“They encourage you, dust you off, and tell you that you are enough. They cover you in prayers. Then they go above and beyond, helping to make ends meet.” Read more.
Victoria Alvarez
“They called me a cholo, a vato. I wore those labels, and worse, as badges of honor. They represented the dream of family and belonging, until the nightmare nearly killed me as it had too many others.” Read more.
Carlos Rodriguez
“Skinny white kids amused me, and in July 1993 they rarely walked down my block. Yet there he was approaching our stoop, looking like a tourist with a camera around his neck.” Read more.
Rollie Barnes
“When we returned to the City, I really didn’t know what to do with the experience. The pain that night surfaced was too deep, too profound to simply go away after a confessional.” Read more.
Eden Martinez
“I want to be remembered as a man that loved Jesus and my family with reckless abandon, and whose faithful service reaps an ongoing return on investment the other side of eternity.” Read more.
Christian F. Monzón
“I cannot say that I’d be where I am today if it wasn’t for them. I’ve grown so much, even having the confidence to say hello to anybody was something I wouldn’t be able to do.” Read more.
Emmanuel Delgado
“I discovered Abounding Grace at one of the lowest points in my life. I visited the church broken, and knew I needed God.” Read more.
Susan Tirado
