Today, we had an engaging chat with Dr. Ed Newton, the Lead Pastor of Community Bible Church, at La Hacienda de Los Barrios. We discussed the upcoming Freedom Conference, which is a two-day event for students in grades 6-12 taking place on June 18-19 at Freeman Coliseum. This conference promises a mix of worship, biblical teaching, and activities that will help young people strengthen their faith. Thousands of students from across Texas are expected to attend this inaugural event, which will feature worship sessions, breakout discussions, and community-focused activities.

Our conversation took place over some delicious Tex-Mex dishes at La Hacienda de Los Barrios, a beloved family-owned restaurant in San Antonio. Known for its lively patios and vibrant atmosphere, this place has been a local favorite for years. Guests love to dig into signature dishes like puffy tacos, enchilada plates, and sizzling fajitas.
