Pastor Sandra Astacio
Understanding who I am in Christ has enabled me to overcome the lies of the enemy secure my peace within myself and receive the love God has for me. My perspective comes from a long time of hurts and mistakes that were a result of not having a personal relationship in Christ and placing him, our glorious King center stage in all that I do! My prayer is that something the Lord reveals to me will help you come to a decision to surrender to God ALL of who you are and redefine yourself by His standards alone!
