My husband...I am so proud of him
 
My husband has never liked to post on forums because he thinks his English is terrible. However lately he seems to be getting more out of his shell posting over at CAF... I am so proud of him. I fixed him up an old computer in my office because he runs from my office to his asking how to spell this or that in English.
I told him it does not matter most of us that post are not English teachers anyway:thumbsup and besides that English is his 3rd language...only ater Spanish and Portuguese.
He has an inferiority complex around Americans. He hates to preach in the states...lol...and he does so awesome.
I wish I had the abilities he has...He is an awesome singer and guitar player.

Why is it that many foreigners have a complex around Americans?

Some of my kids get all fired up about posting but they soon forget...

He should not feel inferior at all. Our church holds him in the highest regard! We think he is an incredible, annointed man of God.

And I am completely impressed with his mastery of languages!

If I were him, I'd struggle with feeling superior. ;)

Re: My husband...I am so proud of him
 
you and me too...it amazes me how many languages he can at least hold a conversation in...he loves languages.

I think he would do so well here. I think most of AFF hold him in high regard!!! I would really like if he would join us sometimes.

I personally like this forum better than any other one because I know more people here and it seems some forums are mostly men and I feel odd even though I have been welcomed....guess it is just me...I do like the GNC also.

Sounds a lot like a man in the Bible named Moses. hmmmmmmmm
=)
His brother Juan never seemed to have a problem with it. He seemed to always have fun with it. He would start sermons in Spanish and then switch to Protuguese and then to English. I remember a couple of times at Ohio Camp he would start preaching with Jonathan interpreting for him and he would say something and Jonathan would give the interpretation and he would REPEAT it and give Jonathan a look like GET IT RIGHT. It was pretty funny. Of course I had known him my whole life and knew he could speak English but many would be there that did not know him.
The family was always very fun loving, came across so serious, but so full of life and fun.

yes, Juan seemed quite comfortable. We miss him...He was an awesome preacher.

Your husband has such a kind look about him, much like yourself. He looks like someone very easy to be around and love. God knew what he was doing when he moved you thousands of miles from home so that you could meet. =)

Amen Sister. I have heard him speak and think he is fantastic. Here in Louisiana we speak two or three languages each bring him back here when you come. I know many pastors who would love to have him speak. My dad was nineteen before he learned English so I know how he feels. Most men in the area I was brought up in failed first grade because they did not know English and it set them back. My brother in law is one
of those. Today he runs and is part owner of an oilfield business and makes a mint.
Language cannot bar us from what Jesus has for each one. Thank Jesus for making us unique.
