I must apply all the things I learned in what I do for the glory and honor of His Name," said Venus of Puerto Ordaz.

 "This retreat was very precious, the Lord made something very precious in my life. We needed this time to be filled and visited by the presence of God.

Furthermore, the mission works are very precious and I hope there are other opportunities for other to join, where we can gather together in harmony to receive more blessings from the Lord," said the missionary Carmen de Los Teques.

I felt that I was molded this time, today I feel a greater commitment. I will not stop making more effort and sacrifice, I have received confirmation from the Lord, this really does not have a price that can be paid. I will be put more effort on a daily basis to maintain what I have received here, "said José, leader of Jubilee Venezuela
