A Calling that Couldn't be Ignored

Jose Anaya, a man so passionate about journalism and the world's actions, conveying so perfectly people's agonies and joy through writing, died on Thursday in La Mirada, CA at the age of 18.
Anaya was born in Colombia and lived there for 9 years. His family found refuge in the United States after the communist in Colombia threatened to kill his father. He lived in Downey, CA for the rest of his life leading him to Biola University as a freshman. Throughout his time here, God has put in his heart to go back to his native land and reunite his people.
Through Journalism, Anaya hoped to be a vessel and let God’s voice just flow out of him onto paper. He wanted to use his journalism skills as an impacting form into uniting Colombia. Through his hunger to rebuild his country, Anaya explored spiritual warfare and ways to bring the power of the Holy Spirit into play.
