The team did home visits today, grocery shopping, getting ready for vacation bible school and food delivery. It was an awesome experience for them so see more of our culture and be able to pack the food for the families that will receive them.

Santa Elena

It has been a long day. We did different ministries throughout the day and had our night service at Santa Elena Nazarene Church. Pastor Sergio shared about seeking God first. We appreciate him sharing and reminding us of our purpose here as missionaries.  Praise God for all the energy to walk us through the day.

Day 1 of Ministry

by Loneli Pech | July 7, 2025 8:05 PM

Grateful to God for a Marvelous Monday! We started off the day serving in two different locations at Santa Elena Nazarene Church. We did food distribution, and helped with construction. While at Dunamis Church we went out to invite kids for VBS and also had the opportunity to meet some families while doing food distribution. We were so delighted to see how welcoming and happy the families were, and to hear their stories of how God works in their lives is amazing.

Youth Night at Dunamis Ministries

by Joana Herrera | July 9, 2025 12:56 AM

During youth night service, we learned that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made" and that regardless of the struggles that we may face in life, there's purpose within us and God is always there for us. Even when He is silent, God's love never fails!
