El Maestro | Edward Varela - Fuller Conversations: Ep. 3

Join us as I sit down with Ed Varela on this episode of Fuller Conversations! Ed shares his inspiring story of growing up as the son of immigrant parents in the ghettos of New Jersey. His passion for music, music education and mentoring young people and his deep, biblically-rooted family values are highlighted throughout his journey, which is filled with humor, faith, and a love for God and neighbor. Don’t miss his epic tales of folk dancing, bank telling and especially his mom’s brave journey, without speaking any English, to the U.S. in the 1970s!
