SUMMARY: The last chapter of the book is a summary that talks about the León de Judá Congregation, the Latino community in New England, and Hispanic-American immigration in the United States. The author discusses how Hispanics who come to this nation have more in common with the pilgrims of the 17th century than their descendants who have turned away from the Christian faith. The author uses Jeremiah Chapter 29 to encourage Hispanics to embrace their new home and become an active and positive influence in the physical and spiritual life of the nation. The author also discusses the responsibility of spiritual authorities to guide the community and develop prosperous, well-managed churches that can effectively serve the Latino community. The chapter ends with God's promise to bless His people with thoughts of peace and goodwill.
The author, Samuel Rodriguez, speaks about the potential for Hispanic people in the United States to bless the nation with their spirituality, racial diversity, family values, and experience of suffering. He believes that the Hispanic evangelical community is a people of the Spirit, who can bring about a powerful revival in the country. Rodriguez encourages readers to spread his message to others, and hopes that the Hispanic community can be a leaven of blessing for the entire nation. He also asks readers to use the envelopes provided in the books to handle any book-related transactions, rather than using tithe or pro-temple envelopes.
The pastor of León de Judá Congregation has published a book to help raise funds for the construction of a new sanctuary. The congregation is encouraging members to sell the book to family, friends, and co-workers for a suggested donation of $20. The money should be placed in an envelope provided with the book and brought to the church, rather than in tithe or pro-temple envelopes. The pastor prays for the success of this fundraising effort and hopes it will also be an opportunity for members to testify about their faith. A link to listen and watch more recorded presentations is provided.

I want to read now the last chapter of the book. It's like a summary to a certain extent. And through it you will be able to see a little of what I trace throughout the entire book.
Again, here I talk a lot in passing about the León de Judá Congregation, I talk a lot about our Church, characters, families of our congregation. The story of the Lion of Judah is here in one chapter, as God started us there in Cambridge, He brought us here to Boston. Many things about the Latino community here in New England, I talk about Hispanic-American immigration in the United States, how the undocumented are being a blessing to this nation. How God is using Latino immigration -among other immigrations- to strengthen the foundations laid by the pilgrims, the Puritans here in the 17th century when they founded this nation.
