A woman of Faith!

by Steven Requena | January 16, 2019 12:45 PM

During the food distribution we met Ismenia, and she told us how God is still working in her life and the miracles she already has experienced by her faith! She was waiting for us to visit her, but what she didn't expect was a bag full with food supplies and too much love from God to her. 

A woman of Faith!

In your name we pray

This is the confidence  we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
