This past Saturday I had the honor of serving as the emcee for the 14th Annual Walk Against Domestic Violence, founded by Lucila Matos. π
Domestic violence is a painful reality for too many, but together we raise our voices to say enough. We walk not only for awareness but for healing, restoration, and hope.
In the name of Jesus, we declare that silence is broken, strength is rising, and lives can be renewed. ππ½β¨
We walk for hope. We walk for justice. We walk for every survivor, every overcomer. ππ£
This past Friday, Parcel 5 became holy ground π β right across from where Charles Finney preached revival in Rochester in 1830. And once again, the Spirit moved. π₯
Let Us Worship, hosted by the Regional Transformational Initiative (RTI) β a collaboration of pastors and leaders, including my friend Pastor Emelio Sebastian from Brockport (one of the organizers, and someone Iβve had the joy of serving alongside as an interpreter in ministry) β brought together believers from across our region.
We worshiped, shared communion ππ, witnessed baptisms π§, celebrated salvations βοΈ, and saw chains broken in Jesusβ name. Different congregations, one Body.
Different stories, one Savior. Revival is here.π€

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Ox and Pearls International Ministry!
As we celebrate the birth of our Savior, we are reminded of the words in Isaiah 9:6 β βFor unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.β
May His peace fill your hearts, His love guide your steps, and His light shine brightly over you and your family this season and beyond. As we enter a new year, we pray that His grace carries you into a season of joy, breakthrough, and renewed faith.
Thank you for walking this journey with us. We look forward to all that God will do in and through us in the year to come.
Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!
With love and prayers,
Ox and Pearls International Ministry

Iβm looking forward to sharing this afternoon at Latinos Unidos Contra CΓ‘ncer with the Cancer Support Community at Gilda's Club Rochester. (Capacity is full).
My heart is always to uplift and encourage others, especially when facing lifeβs challenges. Having lost my mom to cancer, this cause is deeply personal to me. Intercessors, lift me up in prayer as well as those in attendance, so that the workshop is meaningful and full of hope. -Raquel
