Pastor Reflects on Rescue of Chilean Miners

CHICAGO, IL (October 13, 2010) - Evangelical Covenant Church minister Henoch Fuentes fought back tears as he talked about watching the miners being rescued in his native Chile. “I weep every time one is rescued,” he says. “I was so charged last night that I couldn’t sleep.”

I am the vine;you are the branches.

If you remain in me and I in you,

you will bear much fruit;

Apart from me you can do

nothing. John 15:5
