My Great Grandfather founded Temple De La Cruz. The original church was built by my Great Grandfather, Domingo Cruz. He built the first sanctuary and some say he did it almost all by himself. The man only had one leg. The old church burned to the ground, but the Church that stands today is on Silva Avenue and Thomas, in Hayward CA. This church has only had 5 pastors in over 100 years, which is a miracle. Domingo Cruz is the Pastor/Founder. After Papa Mingo died, Pastor Johnny Akino became Senior Pastor of Temple De La Cruz. He also established a Spanish speaking radio broadcast and the recording room was to the left of the pulpit in a small room with a large glass window. After his death, Reverend Sammy Sammy Sanchez took over as Pastor. Sam Sanchez left Templo De La Cruz to direct Los Angeles Bible Institute. Next came the wonderful man of God, Dr. Ricardo K Tanon. Pastor Tanon was a brilliant man known as "Gorilla" because of his imposing size. Tanon was the former Chaplin of Sing Sing prison, 3o miles east of NYC. Pastor Tanon was a great shepherd of the body and the church grew amazingly under his leadership. A Christian School was started under his tenure. Templo Christian Academy. Pastor Tanon went on to be with the Lord. Today, Pastor John Masis is Sr. Pastor of this blessed Church. The vision of one man. An illiterate man. Domingo Cruz, stands well beyond the day of his death and acceptance of his reward in heaven. If you have a burden for souls, or desire to do something great for God, follow the Lord and do what my Great Grandfather did. Build for the Lord. Because of the faith of one man, only God knows how many souls will be inside the gates of the kingdom of God. Ministry is extremely important. Let's do something for God! Amen

Somebody made an astute observation about the (biblical) "Holy Spirit" being the Life of God within each one of us. It IS indeed our very life. Ancients likened it to "breath", because of visible respiration being a vital sign of the presence of life. Moderns liken it to a "divine spark" because it's indicative of the presence of energy sourced in the Eternal. Whatever, Spirit is life, our Life. It is our nature as a Divine Soul; it is "God nature". ... Thus our "Holy Spirit" transcends time and space and this dimension where we are presently experiencing human nature. You do not, therefore, need faith in, or dependence upon the Holy Spirit. In the same way humanity is your essence, whether or not you have faith in or dependence upon it, so Spirit is your essence, whether or not you have faith in or dependence upon it.
