His installation: His installation on September 26, 2004 at Living Savior Lutheran Church/Unidos en Cristo was celebrated by President Rev. Ken Lampe, and by Rev. Donaldo Sonntag, pastor/church planter of Living Savior. Many other pastors and leaders of the
Fayetteville circuit were also present. Pastor Tardeli is adjusting well to the Hispanic culture and to the American lifestyle. The first thing to do was a smooth transition from the ministry pastor Donaldo Sonntag was doing in Hispanic Ministry to the new reality of Ministry under his care. The original group was maintained. Besides, he started to recruit many other people, which are now participating in the activities of the church. As missionary strategy Pastor Tardeli relates to people through personal contact (friendship), makes visits (homes, hospitals and prisons) and "inserts" himself in the "Hispanic world" especially by playing soccer.
