I have been in ministry for as long as I can remember as a young girl, and when I was 12 years old my parents signed me up for piano lessons. Honestly, I had no desire to learn. Little did I know that God had a much bigger plan for me. When I was 15, my dad started a Spanish ministry and I began playing and singing in Spanish. Of course, I absolutely had no idea what I was singing about… but, feeling God move during those services lit a fire in me that I cannot explain – I experienced His anointing through service. Now 16 years later, I have a greater love for worship. Every Sunday when I get up to worship, my one desire is that God would use me as His vessel to exalt Him. I guess you can say I was born on the pew because every week I knew without a shadow of a doubt that we were going to be at church whenever there was service – I learned faithfulness to God through my parents faithfulness. I was only 6 years old when I first felt God, and I have been seeking after him ever since. I cannot say that my faith has always been perfect, but my God has never failed me. There is a scripture that gets me through when life is hard. “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you”. Deuteronomy 31:6. With confidence I can say, He has never left me.

Faithfully His, Leana Hernandez
