Introducing Gerardo Marti
Some of you who are familiar with me and my wife Rachel’s story of pioneering Mosaic here in Sheffield will know that, having decided to start Mosaic, we discovered another community with the same name, heart, values, etc who already existed in Los Angeles.
In wanting to find out more about the story of Mosaic LA, I came across a wonderful book called ‘A Mosaic of Believers’ by Gerardo Marti. It was a truly fascinating read. Insightful and inspiring. I couldn’t put it down.
Having read the book back in the Autumn of 2005, I then had the privilege of spending a day with Gerardo as part of the International Mentoring Network in Orlando, Florida in February 2007. I don’t think my mind has been so stretched and challenged as it was that day. We still talk about it now.
Gerardo is blessed with the wonderful combination of an amazing depth of knowledge that is served by real wisdom and humility. I feel very honoured to have spent time with him and have learnt so much in doing so.
This February gone I got to spend a bit of time with Gerardo once again when me and Rachel took him out for lunch. As always, the conversation was so enriching. He is so insightful and I firmly believe his voice is one which needs to be heard across a broader spectrum. And so he comes highly recommended!
It is linked with all this that I was delighted to be able to interview Gerardo recently about his book. So make sure you check back tomorrow to read the interview. You’ll be glad you did!
Anyone already read ‘A Mosaic of Believers’?
