Praying for Families

by Ishi Vega | April 7, 2026 8:43 PM

We had the opportunity to buy food for 15 families in the community, and we also had the chance to pray for the homes we will be visiting.

We know this is a blessing from God and an answered prayer.

Over the next few days, we will be visiting and praying for each of these families’ needs.

We appreciate your prayers for the team and the community.

Obedience

We had the incredible opportunity to visit the school in Palmira; it was a new experience for all the children.

Sarah spoke about Jonah, the benefits of obedience, and how God helps us fulfill our purpose.

We also played some games, we danced and we had some crafts. It was such an amazing time

Pastor Allen and his wife Magaly shared their testimonies with us, how God brought them from a bad past to a life that was made to glorify Him.

We had the opportunity to pray for him and his family and he blessed us with prayer too!

On our last day of VBS, we taught the children how God led His people out of Egypt and how He helped them through their trials—just as He helps us today.

It was a wonderful time where we were able to spend time with all the children we invited throughout the week.

Freedom!
