Food Distribution - Day 1

by Carolina Urbina | March 10, 2025 11:18 PM

We started with food distribution, and it was incredible to hear so many testimonies and see how God is working in these families' lives. We realized that there are many families who don’t attend church, so we prayed over them. We felt God’s presence today, and we know He is moving there. Our prayer is that God brings them to church and transforms their lives.
