Pancho is well known in his community as a local "son gone awry," only to reappear later on as a compassionate person, changed. In 1990, this new person returned to his hometown of his high school days, and decided to start a home-fellowship in a duplex home on California street. Immediately this fellowship expanded as Pancho was disposed to reach to the down-and-outs, the outcasts, and those who were basically tired of a deep-cultured, dead-religion.

About Pastor Jack

The Growing Thru Grace Radio Ministry began as an outreach of Morningstar Christian Chapel, the church the Lord allowed me to plant in 1985. Having served as an Assistant Pastor for several years, I was led by Him to go out and start a new work in Whittier, California.
