Misael Cruz tells stories of how he and his church have linked to their community through showing the gospel – growing and distributing food, providing necessary services, teaching English to teenagers, and fitness to senior women. And people are seeing Jesus Christ. Misael distinguishes between manipulation to get people to come to church, vs. serving the community.
