Vince Garcia
September 16, 2013
A visit with Vince Garcia, a member of the Navajo Nation, is what’s on the table with this week’s program. Vince’s grandfather was adopted by a Spanish family in New Mexico, yet Vince lived in several locations as a young boy with his dad being in the Air Force. His father was a binge drinker and would beat up his mom. At age 11, Vince couldn’t take it anymore and stepped in to defend her, then was beaten up himself and thrown out on the streets of Chicago to live. Vince shares of the troubles he got into, and how he eventually prayed to receive Christ and began to minister to others who need Jesus, too. This is where he is today, as we look at health issues and ministry opportunities that God has sent his way.

Keith and Gerry discuss the various types of treestands and the evolution of the safety harnesses now used today.
