Fiestas Agostinas

-


"Salvadorians celebrate the Fiestas Agostinas or the August Festival. This is a five day festival that honors Jesus Christ as the Patron Saint of Salvador. During the festival, many people travel to the Monumento al Divino Salvador Del Mundo or Monument to the Divine Savior of the World. The monument consists of a large stone column that holds a large globe, on top of which, is a life sized statue of Jesus Christ. The monument is considered to be a national personification of the Republic of El Salvador, which means the Republic of the Savior.”

God provides whatever we need

  By J.E. Nickerson God wants us to come to him with our hopes, dreams and needs. When Jesus walked the earth, he taught his disciples to pray to God and ask him to provide for their daily needs. He called it our daily bread. These were the mundane or ordinary things that everyone needs in order to fulfill their responsibilities. But prayer and reliance on God does not stop there. God wants us to bring him our hopes and the things we want that are out of the ordinary. Our deepest hopes and dreams, the things we want for our future even when we cannot see a way to obtain them.  God wants to be involved in every facet and area of our life. This is what Paul meant when he talked about leaning our entire personality on God in trust and faith. It’s the only way that we can truly experience peace and comfort in our life.  Whatever you are hoping for in life, I challenge you to give it to God and trust him with the outcome. Let him lead you and show you how to obtain whatever you are hoping f

By J.E. Nickerson A dire situation in America  If you have been following the news or spent any time on social media and in society, you probably know or can sense, that there are many problems in our society. Commentators may advocate for a change in leadership, community action or social justice and equity programs to redistribute resources among minority groups.  These suggestions are often seen as a solution to the problems of our society. But the issues we are dealing with, run much deeper than the ideas that commentators usually like to debate. The issues we are dealing with aren’t just social, they are also spiritual.  According to the February 2023 article, Why Women Leave The Church on Influence Magazine, there has been a sharp decline in church attendance among women, over the last several years. Barna Group, a polling and statistics firm, that tracks church attendance and Christian issues in America, is quoted as saying that church attendance among females, fell from
