Even though Roberto is in his early teens he attends worship every Sunday. When everyone was encouraged to take part in one of the ministries of the church Roberto signed up to read a scripture lesson in worship. He claims that while he was nervous about reading in public the experience strengthened his relationship with the Lord. “Then it came to me,” Roberto says, “that I am not here to read for the heck of it, but to spread the word of the Lord.” The next year, when he was fourteen, Roberto joined the youth choir.
