Our Calling
Healing the brokenhearted, proclaiming release to the captives and liberty to the prisoners, comforting those who mourn, and comforting those who suffer in the city.
Giving them a crown instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning,
A garment of celebration instead of a spirit of despair.
To rebuild the ruins of families, restoring the rubble of ancestors;
To repair the ruined cities, and the rubble of many generations.
(Based on Isaiah 61)
The Plenitud of Life

OUR STORY
"Life is cyclical. So, here I am after 12 years; a cycle was completed in May 2020."
Josefina Cespedes, LMSW (2020).
Embrace Your Life Fullness.
This is my Story Josefina Cespedes, LMSW
“It was a beautiful, sunny day in the summer of 2008. I had only a year left to complete my Master of Social Work degree. I was standing at the window when my advisor called me and told me that my grades were too low to remain enrolled in the program. Suddenly, the beauty of my days disappeared in front of me.” (Josefina cespedes. 2020)
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Suddenly the beautiful summer day disappeared in front of me and eventually led to an emotional breakdown. However, I remained steadfast in my belief that God had a plan for my future. A decade later, I made the decision to return to Nyack College and confront the same obstacles that had previously challenged me. Despite the fear of failure and uncertainty about my ability to complete assignments on time, I remained determined to persevere and succeed in my academic pursuits.
As of April 30, 2020, I have reached the culmination of my academic pursuits as I conclude my final presentation for my MSW program. It is through the strength and guidance of the Lord that I have been able to complete this journey. I am grateful for His grace that has allowed me to see the light again, after a period of darkness. I attribute my success to Jesus alone; I hold to His Words and promise, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," (Philippianse 8:13).
Moving forward, I became a licensed LMSW in September 2021. My commitment to learning and growth remains steadfast and unwavering. Currently, I am exploring options to expand my childcare business into a Children and Family Educational Center, integrating my passion for the arts into all that I do. My services are further intertwined with ministry, as I lead a virtual church and prayer group. Ultimately, all my efforts are dedicated to glorifying His Name in His Kingdom.
