MARCHA 2021

After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. Revelations 7:9

LAMENTO EN COMUNIDAD: CAMINO A LA ESPERANZA

Lament in Community: A Way to Hope

“Remember my trouble and my traveling from place to place, the wormwood and bitter feelings. I remember it always, and my soul bows down within me. But this I remember, and so I have hope. It is because of the Lord’s loving-kindness that we are not destroyed for His loving-pity never ends.” Lamentations 3:19-22
