Sal Pascual • Deacon
Sal Pascual came to know our Lord Jesus Christ in 2004 through the witness of his wife, Cherry. Although he hasn’t seen God, through reading the Bible he feels God’s holy presence in his life and enjoys this intimate relationship.

Sal and his wife, Cherry, have been married since October 2005.
Sal’s favorite passage is Psalm 1:1-4, “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.”
In his spare time, Sal enjoys outdoor activities, hanging out with friends and family, and is always looking for an open door to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
