In an extraordinary display of faith and devotion, thousands flocked to the HOME FREE 15 GLOBAL CRUSADE held by over the weekend. What began as a gathering of the faithful evolved into a profound spiritual awakening, with over 4,500 in-person attendees finding solace, redemption, and a renewed sense of purpose resulting to 2,455 individuals surrendered their burdens at the altar and 920 baptisms, embracing the promise of forgiveness and concord.
In our restless quest for peace, Global Evangelist Jonathan S. Ferriol’s central to the message was the belief that true peace emanates from God and flows through the hearts of those who earnestly seek His guidance. We often search outwardly, seeking comfort in the serenity of nature or the embrace of harmonious communities. Yet, amidst the tumult of the world, we often overlook the most profound source of peace, which resides within the depths of our own being and in the sacred bond between humanity and the Lord.
