All grown up

Hung out with Jose Zayas today, who was in NYC for this weekend's PK event, after not seeing him since Sunday School 20 years ago. Don't be fooled: although he's now an evangelist ministering with Luis Palau, Promise Keepers, Focus on the Family, and Stephen Baldwin's Livin' It tour, he got his start as Donkey in the Sunday school Easter play! Watching him interact with Judah, it's clear he still has that childhood charm. Also met Jose's friend Dave Lubben, who led worship at PK and recently released an album from Integrity called A Place of Surrender. He's originally from North Dakota. What are the chances he knows the only other person I've ever met from Fargo, Nick Hall? Turns out they're a sure bet, since Dave was his youth pastor. At lunch, Judah said that he wants to be "a pastor like Grandpa." Five minutes later he changed his mind ever so slightly to say he wants to be "half a lawyer and half a pastor like my dad." Hmm. Jose first said he wanted to be a preacher when he was six. Judah's only four ... with a bright future no doubt.
