An Unforgettable Sunday in Boca del Rio!
Hello, dear brothers and sisters of Calvary Chapel Rancho Santa Margarita!We want to share with you the incredible blessing we experienced this past Sunday.

Long Wait
It’s been quite a while since we’ve last posted. many things have happened since. concerts, gatherings, students coming and going, a lot of running around. our son has grown a lot in such a short time. he’s off running and dancing and will hopefully be speaking soon. we received his passport and other documents not long ago and have already …
He’s Here
Our baby has arrived. For folks that don’t know, our baby boy has just been born. We have named him Emilio Sebastian Cabrera – Lopez. he’s been doing a good job at keeping us awake so far. We are very excited to have the opportunity to watch him grow and, Lord willing, raise him well. My wife and I both …

Biggish News
Karen is preggers. Right now she’s about 1 month in and apparently it takes about 3 before we can know the gender. So we’ll keep folks posted on that. We’ve also already begun to think of names and make a few plans for the future. We’re eager to see what God is going to do. Secret: I have no idea …
The Road to Town
Hello, we went for a drive to our closest city recently and figured we should grab a quick video. Though the video is very simple and straight forward, I wanted it because I recalled being back in the States, before arriving to Boca Del Rio, and wondering just how remote it is. The description often given to me was simply …
