If We Win the Families, We Win the World

Ralph, a 29-year-old Mexican immigrant, came to the United States nearly 12 years ago. Now, as an appointed and certified minister, Ralph seeks to help bring about social change in America through his ministries:

And as a church or as a minister, as a member of the church, one of the goals, one of the dreams that I had is helping the families to grow together. If we win the families, we win the world. If we rescue the families, we rescue the country, our world. As an immigrant, it was a challenge to learn all these things because my only goal when I came here was to work. Just to get money. But it all has changed. It all has changed. So I will say my contribution as an immigrant, even though it is a big challenge, I am learning and even though it is in English language, I want to become a teacher. Teaching the Bible and helping these families to stay together and keeping families together. At this time, it is very easy when families start and they just broke up. All the kids are without parents. Many kids. We don’t want that in our church. We want families to keep to continue together and grow together. I think it’s a big contribution to society
