When I look back and think about Pastor Caraballo in my early days of ministry with the SED Youth Ministries of Connecticut. I remember longing to learn the word of God at the Bible Institute in Norwalk CT. Pastor Caraballo was the Principal and normally registration was in September and he allowed me to begin my biblical studies in January with the condition of not quiting or dropping out. Pastor Caraballo bent the rules and I kept my word of not quitting or dropping out. Pastor Caraballo was an awesome man of God who not only was a Pastor but a loving caring friend to me, my wife, Jacqueline and our family.
I thank God so much for Pastor Caraballo who is not only my brother Carlos Caraballo's father but Pastor Caraballo was not only a Spiritual Father but a Father Figure and Friend to many.
Lastly, one time when we went to Florida and Carlos Caraballo told his Dad that we were in Florida and we didn't visit him. Oh, my Lord. Pastor Caraballo would not let us forget the time we went to Florida and did not visit. I would say to Pastor Caraballo, "Pastor Caraballo you know we love you so much. And he would reply, Yea right! You come to Florida and you don't even visit me. Gosh, Pastor that was only one time we didn't visit. We visited so many times. He'd reply, regardless, you come visit me. lol lol lol
Love you Pastor Caraballo and Alicia. Hasta pronto!
If you are reading this meassage and have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior there is still time. Please read Romans 10:9 & 10 and John 3:16-18. GBY and God keep you safe in His loving arms.
Carlos/Jacqueline Rivera & Family
