If today was your last day.....


I am setting here and I was in my time of devotions listening to a new song from Tercer Cielo called Ultima Dia. While I was listening to this song I began to feel inside the spirit of the Lord speaking to me "Rich what if this was your last day? What more could you do for me?" I just begin to crush inside, thinking that I have been doing the things that i needed to do. Could I do more? The question still exists with all of us as followers of Christ if today was your last day to live what more could you do for the cause of Christ??? What would you change about your routine??? Would you make time to spend with the Lord reaching and recruiting for Christ??? These are things that we all need to be doing today more so now than ever. The bible says that no one knows the time or day when Christ will come back Jesus Christ does not even know when he is coming back but it is Very soon!!! just like the song says if today was your last day would you fight for your dreams? How many have dreams to see thousands saved? How many have loved ones who do not have Jesus in their lives? If today was your last day what would you do?

Big Day Guardians "Ayer, Presente y El Futuro" Aug 16, 2009


Dear Brothers and and Sisters,

Big Day Guardians August 16, 2009

On another note yesterday was the Guardians of the Vision's turn to minister in drama and song at our church "Castillo del Rey Centro Ensoñador"(Kings Castle dream center).  It was awesome after more than a week of preparing, training, and praying the Big Day finally arrived.  The theme was "The Vision"  sharing on the history of Kings Castle and how Missionaries Don and Terri Triplett started this powerful ministry here in El Salvador.  The Big Day started out some videos of the very first ministry program here in El Salvador which happened on January 28,1990, as well as from some of the most influential times here in the history of Kings Castle.  Next we started the drama with our 75 Guardians marching and chanting "TELL ME WHO IS YOUR SAVIOR?,  (girls chanting) TELL ME WHO IS MY SAVIOR? (all Guardians chanted) JESUS CHRIST HE IS MY LORD!  Once all were in front of the church congregation the Guardians started performing some of the most oldest songs that exist to Kings Castle Ministries "Who made the Heavens", "I am a soldier of Kings Castle" and "I am Running the race with Jesus" .  The next part of the drama was divided into three parts, The first part was the programs of the past, performing the most popular songs from the first days of Kings Castle. Then there was the programs that we do today using our dramas that we currently use on the streets. The third part was the future generation of Guardians in the year of 2050 in which we created a new version of my king Jesus, the guardians had boxes that were cut out and painted silver that made them look like Robots.  I wish you could have been there because watching a Mi Rey Jesús being performed in a robotic manner, it was hilarious.  Then one of our pastors Mario Moran preached the message the Vision and the history and where we are going here in Kings Castle followed by 2 more dramas "Leave a legacy" , and " I bowed on my knees and cried holy". I can not put into words what happened next but all I know is that these children, normal children ages 7-12 changed from being children to becoming children filled with the fire and power of the Holy Spirit.  They formed 2 lines in the alter area as the call was being given, and the pastor asked if there were any needs in the house and so many hands went up in the air that i could not even count them.  Pastor Mario Gave the charge to the guardians to go and pray, It was an awesome sight to see a sea of children of the spirit praying for the people of their own church!  This is the secret I have found, that if you believe like a child that God will do what he said he will do we can see more things happening here in our generation!
We are a generation that is passionate for who we believe in JESUS CHRIST our Lord. 


Thank you for your prayers and support!

Update Aug 5, 2009

Hello Brothers and Sisters
I know that It has been a while since I have been able to communicate with you, but on July 26 of this year I was on my way home after a Sunday service and had an auto accident.  I am okay but even though I can not remember all of what happened  I am fine now.  I spent 1 week in the hospital here in San Salvador trying to recuperate from the accident, I suffered minor bumps and bruises but the problem that I suffered with was that in the accident I ripped my meniscus in my knee and had to have knee surgery to repair it.  I was released from the  hospital on Saturday August 1st and with every fiber of strength I hobbled to our mega fair to see the children that were there and my Guardians who had been praying for me and visiting me.  Even though I just had surgery the doctor told me that I could walk, It would hurt but I could walk, having been given these orders I was dying to see the children, and when I arrived there I had the blessing to be part of a mega fair that had 1,024 children in attendance.  What a Blessing!!   I still have 3 staples in my knee but that Is not stopping me this is the national week of vacations here in El Salvador for  most anyway but for myself and the other pastors of the children it is a time to take advantage and minister to children.  So tomorrow levels 11 and 12 of the Guardians of the vision will be going with me and we will be ministering in a place called "Nueva Esperanza"  "New Hope" to the children and those who are in the castle club of that area.   Thank you all very much for your prayers and concerns, God is faithful in everything that we do.  I am up and walking and working with the children almost as if nothing even happened, all of this only 1 week after surgery!! God is Awesome and we have Victory in Christ, as He has demonstrated to me personally in these past 2 weeks. May God Bless everyone in this Last Harvest!!
