If You Can Only Believe

I have had the privilege of knowing Valentina
since 1991. We met in church and as a christian
brother, in a Christ centered relationship, I have
had the opportunity of encouraging Valentina
as she courageously followed the steps of the
Master as HE led her into the ministry of an
evangelist on the streets, bringing in prostitutes,
drug addicts and the homeless to the altar in
church and on street corners where they presented their hearts and
lives to Jesus. Valentina then entered the skid row of Vancouver where
she ministered at the Revival Center Mission, Gospel Mission and the
Rainbow Mission, not only serving food but preached the Word for over
14 years as well as ministering in a nursing home once every month
faithfully preaching and encouraging the aged to believe in the Lord she
so loved, trusted and served.
I watched as she stepped into the Open Door Ministry; a house
where God moved in the lives of 4 homeless souls at a time by the
intercession of the prayer warrior for a period of 4 years. By this time, I
knew that this was a gal that trusted In the Good Shepherd with her life,
and especially so, as she opened up her take-out restaurant, named Little
Spot, centered right smack in the tracks of the drug pushers who became
her ministry. Valentina has been a product that introduced her Savior to
many lost and hurting, but, I believe that her greater works are still just
around the corner.

Faithfully
