Today, in the same way, all those who walk in darkness and in great danger need the gospel and, when it touches the cities and the hearts of the people, the light of the gospel comes bringing joy and peace. Let us pray that this light will shine in our hearts and that the world is impacted unto salvation.<\/p>\n<p>It is a joy to share again with you the work that the Lord continues to do, first in my life and then through my life. I can't stop thanking God for the prayer support that I\u2019ve been receiving from all my friends and partners.

This year we followed the YouVersion app's devotional entitled \"10 Days of Christmas Truths to Live all Year\". It has been enriching to learn from the characters who were involved at the birth of Jesus and to take their experiences as lessons for our lives. The people who attend the Center are participating more and more with their comments. It is amazing to see how the light of the gospel is shining in their lives. It was also a great challenge for me to oversee this ministry for a week due to some travel reasons of the person in charge. I also was able to participate at the Christmas Market representing the ministry to which the Oasis Center belongs called <strong>Breaking Chains Network<\/strong>\u00a0(www.breakingchainsnetwork) where we put on sale the handmade jewelry made by the girls of the Center.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/e5d5e257-021e-e884-0d7a-a6a808c78eea.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4512\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/e5d5e257-021e-e884-0d7a-a6a808c78eea.jpg\" alt=\"Oasis market\" width=\"401\" height=\"301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/e5d5e257-021e-e884-0d7a-a6a808c78eea.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/e5d5e257-021e-e884-0d7a-a6a808c78eea-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/e5d5e257-021e-e884-0d7a-a6a808c78eea-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/e5d5e257-021e-e884-0d7a-a6a808c78eea-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 401px) 100vw, 401px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/481d9072-20c3-6111-3960-e8d61a54332c.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4508\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/481d9072-20c3-6111-3960-e8d61a54332c.jpg\" alt=\"Lulu at the Oasis market\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/481d9072-20c3-6111-3960-e8d61a54332c.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/481d9072-20c3-6111-3960-e8d61a54332c-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/481d9072-20c3-6111-3960-e8d61a54332c-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>During the past month, I had the opportunity to attend a meeting organized by the Pentecostal European Missions (PEF) where they shared the missionary work that is taking place in Europe.

During the Sunday I shared the Word of God, a family and two Latinos expressed their interest in being a part of the church.<\/p>\n<p>This month, I moved into my apartment and began to walk by myself in my life and ministry. Since the departure of my husband to heaven and during all these months, God has sent to my path true \"angels\" who have shown their care and love for me.
