Church Planter: Maria Fe Penalosa

From a young age, I dedicated my life to serving the Lord. Then decided to attend Expect Hope Bible School with a passionate desire to help people return to God. Since then, I have remained committed in serving the Lord, and in my devotion to His ministry and answered His calling. I believe his calling is for me to take the step of faith and plant a church to reach people for Jesus and disciple them according to the Holy Bible. The funding will assist in the expenses of the church launch and the needs of the new work.
