Here, in the bottom of my deep dark pit, Jesus came seeking me. I do not even remember how I met them, but in His providence God put Brother Samuel Vásquez and his son Jhosue in my path. I did not know it then, but Samuel and Jhosue are part of a ministry called Shalóm Farm. Samuel and Jhosue earned my friendship and trust. They were different. They had something special that I could not identify, but when they invited me to study the Bible with them, I agreed. They prayed for me. The Bible texts they shared quenched the thirst of my soul. For the first time since leaving church, I realized that I needed God and heavenly beings in my life. 

Contacting my family, I invited them to join me in returning to the Lord. After finishing Bible studies together, we all made the big decision to be baptized at Shalom Farm with Pastor Fernando Vinuesa of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

My friends tell me that I look different now. I certainly feel different. I never found peace in the world, because, as I have learned, heavenly peace comes only from God. Now I too have joined the ministry at Shalóm Farm, and I get to help people be restored to joy through Christ Jesus. May God help me to be His hands and to obey His voice no matter where He sends me!
