Mrs. Abraham
Back in 1857, when women practically didn’t have any rights in society, a group of women in a clothing factory in the US decided to protest against the unfair conditions they worked in… no, I don’t mean, the dirt of the place or even the load of work, but simply the 16 hours they were demanded to work daily for a third of the salary that the men, in the same factory and with the same duties earned – not much to ask right? Well apparently it was a lot to ask for. Around... Read More
I was reading cards
Before coming to Jesus I had my life totally destroyed. I suffered from many spiritual problems as having visions, hearing voices, nightmares, I was afraid of darkness and death.My family was deeply involved with witchcraft. It all started back when my mother was 18 and had repeated panic attacks, screaming and claiming she was going to die. My granny would take her to the hospital with no avail so she decided to seek for help in the mystic world through card readers able to speak... Read More

HIV march
We are inviting you to join us in march this coming December 5th in support to those infected and affected by this pandemic. The march is a symbol but the real protest must be in each one’s heart. To protest alone is not enough if we do not take a stand, we do not educate our friends and children about HIV/Aids. Education alone is not enough… we need to lead them to value their life, to dream for a future and if the price to be paid is abstain, so be it. We need to... Read More
Spring in your life
Few Saturdays ago I had a wonderful surprise of having the sun back into our life, so strong, so bright, so warm after this dreadful winter with low temperatures and bad weather. But you know what? This whole transition marked my year, not physically but spiritually. It was very captivating to observe the changes in nature and follow closely to each stage of it up until now. The leaves on trees turned dry and fell off; the lawns looked more like carpets of straw so dried out... Read More

She waited
This is Rachel, a 31-year-old assistant who recently married a 36-year-old pastor last October 31st. When I met Rachel for the first time, I decided to write about her not only because her story is quite unique, but also because it has a very common beginning, which is why it strongly inspired me. Rachel came to the church when she was only 14. Being born in a Catholic home, Rachel had always believed in God but she and her family suffered a lot, and didn’t know how to use... Read More
