Praying for One Another

by Francheska Ruiz | July 17, 2022 10:12 AM

We had the privilege to pray for healing for some of the church members. We know that a miracle is coming and we have faith that God can do great things in their lives. 


“…pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.”

‭‭James‬ ‭5:16‬ ‭

VBS Day #1

by Francheska Ruiz | July 18, 2022 11:52 AM

Today was the first day with the kids and we got to play, pray, eat and just share the word of God. Today’s theme was Jesus' power over nature. We talked about how Jesus walked on water and Peter sank because he took his eyes away from Jesus.

Walking on Water

by Francheska Ruiz | July 18, 2022 12:09 PM

Healing the Sick
