A Star in our Midst


We are privileged to have a young man in our congregation who has a God given gift and uses it to glorify God. Manuel Romero is 18 years old and already has a Latin Grammy nomination under his belt. Currently, he is busy on the show, America's Got Talent, and is on his way to the Las Vegas callbacks.

This past Sunday, Nate interviewed him in church and we really got to see how much he loves the Lord, music, and sharing his gifts with others. We are so excited to see Manuel do well on the show (even though Sharon Osbourne criticized his microphone technique--whatever!) and are supporting him all the way! We pray that he will be a light in a world that is often known for darkness.

Check out his website. www.manuel-romero.com and watch him on America's Got Talent next week as he competes in Las Vegas! Now, of course, Manuel already knows what happened, but he's under contract and can't talk, even though we keep trying to find out!

Oh--one other thing to mention. Jenna might be Manuel's biggest fan. She loves to talk to him at church, but then gets all shy when she gets near him. We are listening to one of two cds in our car these days, the VBS cd-Avalance Ranch, or Manuel's new cd, Santa Maria. Part of the cd is in Spanish, and if you've read a previous post about Jenna and Spanish, you'll understand partly why she loves his cd!
