He Finished Well

On May 25th our church and family lost a dear friend. Pablo was only 20 years old when he died, but he lived many “lifetimes” in his short time here on the Earth. If you knew Pablo you know exactly what I mean; he lived life to the fullest. He died while serving the Lord and ministering to underprivileged children in the Old City part of Montevideo through a horrible accident. He will be greatly missed and we will never forget his smile, devotion, and passion for Christ.

Though we do not fully understand this tragedy at this moment, we know that God is in control and we believe Pablo is with the Lord in Glory. We have all been challenged through this experience; hopefully Pablo’s life will encourage us all to “finish well” as he did at such a young age.

Please pray for Pablo’s family, girlfriend (Sadia), and church family.

The following pictures may give you a glimpse into the life of a young man who lived life to the fullest.
