Today, Wilfredo Choco De Jesus is Senior Pastor of New Life Covenant Church, one of the fastest-growing churches in Chicago. But his story consists of humble beginnings in Humboldt Park. At the age of 14, he applied for a summer job that took an unexpected turn, leading him to Jesus and on the receiving end of a promise he still hasn’t let go of to this day. Throughout his story, he repeatedly comes back to the reality that we may not be able to understand the plans of God ...for our lives fully, and that’s OK. Understanding can wait, but obedience cannot. - Wilfredo De Jesus In this video, you'll see how Pastor Choco chose obedience in the midst of his lack of understanding.
