Muchas veces como cristianos nos envolvemos tanto en nuestro estilo de vida que nos desconectamos del resto de las personas que nos rodean y así no sentimos alegría en lo que hacemos, la biblia dice “Buscar primeramente el reino de Dios y todo lo demás añadido será” … “Porque yo soy fiel y prometí que siempre cuidaría de ti” y viene la pregunta ¿cuál es el Reino de Dios?.Es muy común que cuando

Last Thursday, I, along with a team from all over the USA, Douglas, Mizael, and Henry, experienced something that we all likely will never forget. We visited an orphanage in San Pedro Sula from where four of our Providence Children came. The experience was even more eye-opening than I thought it would be and it confirmed that there is a huge need to improve orphan care in Honduras, which is

In the book of Isaiah we read of a prophet's account of the future Savior - one who would be anointed to speak good news to the poor and rescue the oppressed. Later Luke, the great physician and writer, quotes this verse, confirming that the Savior indeed had come, but Luke chose to add that Jesus would also give sight to the blind. Luke, a medically trained professional, must have been
