Mensaje a la congregación de Iglesia Poder de Dios el Domingo 18 de Julio del 2021

¡Dios creó todo y lo puso en nuestras manos!

Pastor Armando Vera

Muy poco se habla en las iglesias y como latinos sobre disfrutar y conservar la tierra, o sea, los bosques, mares, ríos y el ecosistema en general. Para muchas personas puede ser un tema no bíblico, no espiritual y que no debe de predicarse desde el púlpito, pero no es así.

En esta Semana de Conservación Latina estaremos enseñando por la radio sobre qué hacer, qué lograr y qué mejorar en nuestro entorno, para hacer de este mundo, uno mejor.  

Los seres humanos somos creación de Dios y todo lo que está a nuestro alrededor también fue creado por Dios, quien nos dio la gran tarea de cuidar, proteger y preservar responsablemente todo lo creado.

Debemos de disfrutar junto a nuestra familia todo lo que Dios creó para nosotros, tocando las flores, sintiendo la arena del mar y la brisa de la mañana, caminando por los senderos en medio de la naturaleza y los bosques, escuchando el canto de los pájaros, y observando los animales, desde las pequeñas hormigas hasta las bestias más grandes.

Hay muchas acciones que unidos podemos tomar para proteger nuestra tierra, desde recoger basura y evitar tirarla, hasta cuidar los entornos naturales.

“Y los bendijo Dios, y les dijo: Fructificad y multiplicaos; llenad la tierra, y sojuzgadla, y señoread en los peces del mar, en las aves de los cielos, y en todas las bestias que se mueven sobre la tierra.”  Génesis 1:28

La conservación de nuestra tierra requiere también recurrir a las autoridades para promover acciones que lleven a establecer leyes y programas para preservar con responsabilidad el hábitat natural, así como regulaciones sobre la caza indiscriminada, que, en aras del deporte, está extinguiendo especies en los mares y en el campo.

Tenemos esta gran responsabilidad, enseñemos sobre ella y hagamos algo desde hoy.

Dios ha sido bueno con nosotros: ¡Disfrutemos y conservemos la tierra!

Viaje de pesca familiar en el río Merrimack

We are proud to be Dominican-American and members of Latino churches from the communities of Lawrence, Lowell, and Boston, Massachusetts. Over the years, we have enjoyed many visits by boat to our Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary to visit the whales and learn about their migration from El Caribe! Our communities joined our Mayor from the City of Lawrence in June to hold a virtual fishing clinic sponsored by NOAA and Hispanic Access Foundation. The same group of individuals plan to head out to celebrate Latino Conservation Week to the mouth of the Merrimack River to try out our new fishing skills to fish for bass. Estamos orgullosos de ser dominicanos-estadounidenses y miembros de iglesias latinas de las comunidades de Lawrence, Lowell y Boston, Massachusetts. A lo largo de los años, hemos disfrutado de  visitas en barco a nuestro Santuario Marino Nacional Stellwagen Bank para visitar las ballenas y aprender sobre su migración desde El Caribe. Nuestras comunidades se unieron a nuestro alcalde de la ciudad de Lawrence en junio para realizar una clínica de pesca virtual patrocinada por la NOAA y la Hispanic Access Foundation. El mismo grupo de personas planea salir para celebrar la Semana de la Conservación Latina en la desembocadura del río Merrimack para probar nuestras nuevas habilidades de pesca para pescar lubinas.
