About this sermon
In 1980, an aspiring pastor from Texas and a young realtor from Southern California crossed paths. The pastor had moved to Orange County with a vision of starting a church in the Saddleback Valley. He and his young family had no place to live and no money at the time. The realtor decided to help. Within two hours, he found them a place to live with the first month's rent free and no money down. Little did he know, that young pastor would change his life in unfathomable ways. During their first meeting, Pastor Rick Warren invited Don Dale to become the first member of Saddleback Church. It was an invitation to a life of witnessing miracles; a front row seat to the rise of one of the greatest modern-day Christian leaders; and the opportunity to develop a faith that could move mountains — the type of faith the Pastor Rick demonstrated from the very beginning. saddleback.com/celebraterickandkay
