Tom Lay
Assistant Pastor
Family: My beautiful wife, Rosalina, is my high school sweetheart. I have 3 beautiful daughters who love to serve the Lord: Christina, Stephanie and Josephine.
I have a passion to help people, so when I was little my dream was to become a doctor, since a doctor’s job is to help people get healed. When I came to the U.S., I worked as an assistant pharmacist and wanted to become a pharmacist, since a pharmacist’s job is also to help people get healed. But God had another plan for me: He called me to be a pastor to help people to become whole. As Proverbs 16:1 (NLT) says, “We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer.”
Favorite colors: Colors give me inspiration; my favorite colors are blue which symbolizes peace, white which represents wholeness, and black because it is elegant.
My favorite book of the Bible is: The Bible is the principle of my life; I learn wisdom from the book of Proverbs; I learn to praise the goodness of God from the book of Psalm. My favorite readings are the book of Jeremiah and the book of Acts.
I use my spare time by reading magazines, such as TIME, Newsweek, Bloomberg, Readers’ Digest, and The Economist, and books, such as Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris, and The Art of War by Sun Tzu.
My worst habit is not having anything to do; which makes me lazy and I tend to go to sleep . . .
My favorite foods are homemade foods, especially those made by my wife and my mom.
I am a very happy person but you can make me happier by bringing people to know Jesus.
