We have arrived!

by Jose David Figueroa Rivera | January 28, 2023 7:59 PM

It's the first trip of the year, but for us it's been a journey that has seen us  moved due to COVID, canceled due to flights. But now we are finally here. Some luggage has been misplaced but we are still happy to be here. We are so excited to be here and we can't wait to see what God will have for us this week and now we are getting ready for dinner.

We have arrived!

We pray for our Pastors

by Jose David Figueroa Rivera | January 29, 2023 7:30 AM

There is no better feeling than to see an old friend. Pastor Julian Matthews who has dedicated most of his life to the ministry. We met him in 2019 and have developed such a strong bond. This week we not only want to be the hands and feet of Jesus, but also be there for Julian and lift him up. So we start with prayer. Join us in praying for pastor Julian!
