Olga Breeskin: Finding God at the Bottom
We continue to partner with Christ First Espanol church for outreaches to the community of Covina. We hosted the performer, Olga Breeskin, from Mexico. Olga had a nightly act in Mexico City for years as well as her own show in Las Vegas. She is a renown dancer and violinist. Through her success she fell into alcoholism and drugs and started having panic attacks, anxiety, nightmares and depression. The day before she planned to commit suicide a friend invited her to a Christian retreat—where she fell in love with Jesus and was given hope once again.
Olga came to share her story and music through our outreach. We rented out the theater at a local high school and we saw over 150 attend—with 10 people accepting the Lord that evening! Pray for the new believer classes that Pastor Marco has started utilizing Cru discipleship material.
Joseph recently had the opportunity to install a pastor at one church we work closely with, Solid Rock in Claremont. Pastor Hunter had been in charge of missional communities and leadership development the past few years but recently has become the lead pastor at Solid Rock. Joseph was able to help install him as he now is the pastor for Preaching and Vision overseeing preaching and the direction and vision of the church. It has been encouraging to see Hunter developed these past years and grow in a position to lead the church.
FAMILY UPDATE!

We are preparing for our Cru22 Staff Conference in Wisconsin in July soon. Thank you for all your support, encouragement and prayers for us.
