Best we stay HOME

Best we stay

After all, who loses the lack of new immigrants is the United States. Immigrants pay taxes, create jobs and take jobs white american no wants to do.

The question is are we going to live in America? And the answer of a growing number of Mexicans is not, better stay home. This is news. According to research by the Pew Hispanic Center, at the beginning of this century about half a million illegal immigrants crossing the U.S. border with Mexico each year. Now, a recent study at Princeton University shows that Mexican citizens have essentially ceased to emigrate to America. "Nobody wants to say, but the flow of immigrants has stopped," said Douglas Massey, codirector of the Mexican Migration Project, told The New York Times, "for the first time in 60 years, traffic (immigration to the USA) is zero.

National Anthem of El Salvador

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1QW9oKUH00
CHORUS
Salute the Motherland, proudhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
to be called Its children
And let us swear our lives spiritedly
Without rest to its good consecrate

FIRST VERSE
Of peace enjoyed in perfect happiness
El Salvador always nobly dreamed.
To achieve this has been Her eternal proposition,
To keep it, Her greatest glory.
With inviolable faith, the path of progress
She strives to follow
To fulfil Her great destiny
And conquer a happy future.
A stern barrier protects Her
Against the clash of vile disloyalty,
Ever since the day when Her soaring Flag,
Wrote Freedom with Its blood.

CHORUS

SECOND VERSE
Freedom is Her dogma and Her guide;
A thousand times She has defended it,
And as many times has She repelled
The hateful power of atrocious tyranny.
Her history has been bloody and sad,
Yet at the same time sublime and brilliant,
A source of legitimate glory
And a great lesson in Spartan pride.
Her innate bravery shall not waver:
In every man there is an immortal hero
Who knows how to maintain the level
Of the proverbial valour of old.

CHORUS

THIRD VERSE
All are self-denying and faithful
To the tradition of warlike ardour
With which they have always reaped fame
By saving the Motherland's honour.
To respect the rights of others
And base Her actions on right and justice
Is for Her, without infamous intrigue,
The constant and most firm ambition.
And in following this line She persists,
Dedicating her tenacious efforts
In giving hard battle for battle;
Her happiness is found in peace.

CHORUS

Although there are three verses, only the chorus and first verse are commonly sung.

"These are not countries, are places,"

EL SALVADOR

"These are not countries, are places," said David J. Guzman a century ago. We should not be condemned to do so. To live in a better country, and to bequeath a better life for future generations, El Salvador needs to improve. It is possible, if we all do our part
Almost two decades .. they running ever since El Salvador gave the shining example of the political settlement of internal armed conflict. It is time enough to have assimilated all those traumatic experiences ...

A Celebration to Remember

John Bueno greeting Guillermon Izaquirre from El Salvador with Lois Bueno and Bob Bueno looking on.



Assemblies of God World Missions Executive Director L. John Bueno and his wife, Lois, retire October 3, 2011, after 50 years of missions ministry. Nearly 2,000 people gathered August 3 at the 54th General Council in Phoenix, Arizona, to honor their ministry in El Salvador and John’s seven years as Latin America regional director and 14 years as AGWM executive director.



The evening featured “south of the border” food, a video presentation of the Buenos’ ministry, a mariachi band, a worship team from Bethesda Community Church in Ft. Worth, Texas, and guests from around the world. Dr. Thomas Trask, former U.S. AG general superintendent, opened in prayer, and David Lee, AGWM director of U.S. Relations and coordinator for the event, served as emcee.



Representing the AGWM Executive Committee, Africa Regional Director Mike McClaflin said, “John has been a friend and mentor to Assemblies of God leaders around the world.” He also noted that significant changes were made in AGWM during the past 14 years, including realigning the AGWM regions, changing the method of processing missionaries, and adding a woman to the AGWM executive committee. Worldwide, the number of people attending AG churches overseas more than doubled, and 34 new fields opened to missions outreach.



John Bueno spoke about significant people from his early ministry. Since his first assignment had no salary, he took a construction job with plumbing contractor Roy Thorpe. Throughout the ensuing years, Mr. Thorpe and his family became significant contributors to the Buenos’ ministry. Although Roy is now with the Lord, members of his family attended the celebration. Bueno also introduced Cristobal and Luisa Ramirez who were co-pastors with John and Lois for 25 years in El Salvador.



The Buenos’ eldest son Robert represented the family. In his remarks, he commended his parents for their commitment to God and their Christlike example, especially during times of hardship and loneliness.



To show the impact of Latin America ChildCare, Robert told of one specific child: Guillermo Izaguirre. Hearing-impaired and unable to speak, Guillermo began attending an LACC school at age 12. Two years later his father died. When his mother could not afford to continue her son’s education, John and Lois became Guillermo’s sponsors until his graduation. God healed him as a young adult, and today he directs an LACC school with more than 5,000 students. As a surprise, Guillermo was introduced as a special guest at the celebration.



Dr. George Wood, U.S. AG general superintendent, noted the great missions advancements during Bueno’s leadership. He said, “Every
Lois and John Bueno during the celebration

season of the Buenos’ lives was marked with tremendous growth. God has blessed them, and the fruit is the evidence.”



Dr. Lazarus Chakwera, AG general superintendent in Malawi and secretary of the World Pentecostal Fellowship, spoke of the Buenos’ contribution to him personally. Dr. Byron Klaus, president of Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, announced that the Buenos would be honored with a Pillar of Faith in their name. The Pillar of Faith initiative will enable their legacy to continue through a scholarship program.



Greg Mundis, newly elected AGWM executive director, said, “The heritage and shoulders that we stand on are well known. We look to the future anchored in the Word of God and in the 1914 General Council resolution in which we committed ourselves to the greatest evangelism the world has ever seen.”



The celebration ended with prayer for Mundis and his wife,

Rev. Floyd Woodworth


Rev. Floyd Woodworth is the son of Assemblies of God pioneers in the United States. He completed studies at Central Bible Institute in Springfield, Missouri, and later graduated with a B.A. from Bethany Peniel College in Oklahoma.
Floyd started his missionary work with a “hitch-hiked” trip to Mexico City, where he enrolled for classes at the university to learn the language of Cervantes. Soon, at the request of the Assemblies of God, Floyd went to Cuba to help teach pastors. He remained there for 10 years as professor and Director of the Bible School. In 1964, Floyd and his wife, Mildred, and their three children moved to Colombia to train teachers and pastors. Floyd strengthened his writing skills by earning an M.A. in Latin American Literature from the University of Southern California. He then began training Latin-American evangelical writers. Floyd started CONOZCA, a magazine that reached evangelical ministers across Latin America and in some European countries. He authored several books, including La escalera de la predicación, Hacia el arte de escribir, Hacia la meta, y Verdades fundamentales. With his colleagues at Servicio de Educación Cristiana (Christian Education Services), he led workshops on editing, helped edit several textbooks for Latin American Seminaries, and taught classes in Bible, Theology, and Ministry for Instituto de Superación Ministerial (ISUM), as well as M.A. studies for Facultad de Teología.
In his 58 years of missionary ministry, Floyd has taught in every Latin American country, as well as in Haiti, Jamaica, Canada, Belgium, Spain, and the Canary Islands. In more recent years, he has served as an editor for 13 books on the history of the Assemblies of God in Latin America. His contribution to God’s kingdom has impacted thousands of Latin-American pastors, evangelists, writers, and missionaries.
Conocí a Floy en Costa Rica en 1976. Luego aquí mismo en 1978. Fue mi maestro en composición y Biblia. Estudiando la maestría fue mi maestro en Técnicas de Investigación. Por correspondencia me asesoraba en mis comienzos.

- MY MENTOR IN THE MINISTRY OF THE PEN
ENRIQUE BARILLAS

In my 61 years I have wondered: Why is God called me to serve? ... With less preparation secular, others have done what I have done, or better than what I've developed in my leadership. When I came to Bible School Bible School * * I find that classmates just have 4 or 5 years of schooling. With 2 grades, one of them has played an outstanding leadership in local and national church. ... Why me? .I already worked with Time Life and Counter Reade 's Digest.1972. With 21 years of age I began my professional life. I'm happy with what God has done in my local and national leadership. Why the sacrifice? ... Part of the answer lies in the ministry of the pen, historical researcher. The ministry of the pen is so scarce in Latin America. Ideally, academic preparation for this ministry. It is not always so. Paul was academic. Pedro NO. Here are the teachers who helped me to find that the pen is a ministry.
At this age, I realize that I can hardly be starting the MINISTRY OF THE PEN. There is so much to write about. Hard disk of my memory is so much information stored empty and worth in points. I have to write 10 books in mind. If I live another 30 years - to reach 90 years of my first three brothers -...¡ much to do.
Without my realizing it, many mentors began to boom brings to my knowledge tools that have helped me in my work alone. Here are some of them:

LIFE IS LIKE A BOOK

LIFE IS A BOOK
When my boss had already decided that I had to leave their company, for downsizing. I tried talking to the wife of my boss's boss to intercede with my boss and I dispatched. She already knew I was going to the outside of the company. He told me: Life is a book. Chapter happened and not re-write. I refused that thought, but it was true. It's been 10 years since I lost my job.
Searching the internet, I found:
The Book of Life
Every day life offers you a blank page in the book of your existence. Your past is already written and you can not correct it .In your yellow pages you can find your history, some with soft colors, others darker shades ... fond memories of times beautiful or pages you would like to start forever ...
This day have the opportunity to write another page. It is only in your hands to pick colors that will.For even in adversity can bring serenity nuances to make it a beautiful experience. How to write today? ... Just depends on your will and optimism to make the page today in the book of your life, or a page in the future you can treasure as a beautiful memory. If you knew that you only live another day. What would you do?
Without doubt,you be on peace with God and with those around you.Would enjoy the rays of the sun, the gentle breeze, the joy of your children, love your partner.
Enjoy this new day, make a mental inventory of all the good things that exist in your life and live each hour with good cheer. Do the best of you. Do not damage anyone and be happy to be alive. To give a smile, to offer your hand and your generous help.
Never too late to change course and start writing pages of joy and peace in the book of life. Thank God for the gift that gives you the opportunity today and make this day a beautiful page of the book of your existence. Remember that despite all the adverse situations is only in your hands live today ... as if it were the first, as if it were your last, like the one in the book of your life.

I am useful, but not essential.

THOUGHTS:
I am useful, but not essential.
If we learn this principle in early life will be better. Owners of a major bakery came to serve as a deacon of a local church. They achieved great influence. They came to want to send the Pastor.Was the pastor of this church I heard him say that thought. After an individual factory owner told me that this is valid in all societies. When we die someone will take our place. The world will not end in our absence.Someone does the same job as well or better ..
