Karissa makes Profession of Faith


Karissa makes Profession of Faith at the Prince of Peace Church.

September 9th was a special day for our family. Karissa has wanted to make profession of faith and join the church for several years, but for various reasons, no new members classes were started. This spring, she and three other young people joined a catechism class. Along with friends Angelica Flores, Misael Escudero, and Andres Escudero, Karissa joined the church in a special service on Sunday night. After becoming members, Karissa and friend Lesly Giron, sang a special song to give thanks. Andres and his sister Diamandy also sang a song of praise they had written for the occasion. After the service we all enjoyed cake and ice cream, celebrating two birthdays as well, Marcia Geurink and Sanson Escudero.

The Prince of Peace congregation has a goal of becoming an organized church within two years. Adding new members is a step towards that goal. They will also be training elders and deacons, and the pastor, Isaac Rodriguez is taking steps to be ordained.
