Andrea Vasquez is a dear friend of ours. She’s a dynamic young woman from Monterrey who’s succeeded in her IT career which has taken her all over the world. She’s been attending church for about 6 months, she’s accepted Christ as her savior and she’s getting ready to be baptized. She’s also attending a small group and is growing in her faith. We interviewed her and asker her some simple questions about God’s love story with her.
1. How did you end up coming to our church?
I came to Great Commission Church Monterrey in October 2009. Iwas invited by my boyfriend César Gomez who had been attending church a few months earlier and wanted to share with me what he was learning.
I was born in a Catholic family and since I was a kid I was a follower of Jesus. However, in the last recent years, I hadn’t been attending a church on a regular basis and I just knew I had so much to learn from Him. He seeked me, as a dear lost sheep, and He found me!
2.Why did you decide to stay?
I just love the way the services are designed with a clear message and objective. The messages are usually very relevant and applicable to our daily lives.
The simpleness and, at the same time, depthness of the messages caused in me a great thirst for seeking more and more. And there I was, taking notes, listening to the podcasts all over again, opening my Bible and with a great desire to learn and to be lead.
It makes such a difference to find people with whom you can identify yourself: people who welcome you with open arms and who lead you in a very kind way. People with such a passion for the Lord: they are entire families worthy of being imitated as an example.
3. How do you feel now?
I see with great joy ahead my personal and spiritual growth. The small group and the weekend services are even helping me have a better quality of life. They’re helping me with my family relations and my faith and so much more.
My relationship with Cesar has also strenghtened. We’ve learned to pray together, to read the Bible and to share with one another what God is doing in our lives.
4. How is it that you became a Christian?
It was a process. God laid one by one all the pieces of the puzzle. I think that what really helped me was the Bible studies related to salvation from the discipleship process. I know that we’re all sinners and that He calls us to do good deeds. However, our merciful Father sent his one and only Son to save us and pay for all of our sins and now we gladly welcomes us back home!
5. What do you think God has for your future?
I wish and pray every day of my life for God’s blessing on me, for his unlimited mercy and wisdom. I would like to become an instrument so that many others would know and follow Him.
