Oh, Brother
Sometimes the people closest to you are the hardest to reach with the gospel.

Meet 2-1/2 year old Chloe, daughter of Claudio and Roxana Marinestu. Originally from Romania, Claudio and Roxana moved to the United States six years ago. Neither Claudio nor his wife, Roxana, had a relationship with the Lord when they moved here. Claudio happened to be listening to K-Wave when he heard an ad about Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa and decided to take his wife. The rest is history and Claudio has been serving as a Harvest Crusade Usher since 2011.
Last night, when the stadium was completely filled, including Claudio’s section, he decided to let Chloe play a role to keep a smile on the faces of the people he had to turn away. Truly, the joy of the Lord is the strength of this family.
