Through Suffering, God Can Change Us for the Better with Alain Alfonso
Alain Alfonso’s life journey has made many stops—childhood in Guatemala, Bible study in Argentina, college in the U.S., and now a position as pastor at Harvest Community Church in Wisconsin. Through frustrations, failures, and false starts, Alain persevered through it all, believing God used that suffering to help him grow. This week, Alain shares the challenges of adapting to a new culture and how he helps people identify their spiritual gifts.
