Bio: San Juanita de la Cruz
San Juanita de la Cruz is presented to you today by the Restoration Covenant Church Nomination Committee as the nomination for the Church Council. Juanita has been part of Restoration since March 2018. She became a member on August 26, 2018. Shortly, after attending Restoration, Juanita volunteered in the Love the Rock in the spring. This event helped her decide to continue going to this church as she saw love in action by its members. Juanita currently serves in the nursery, is part of the Greeting Team and participates in the Immerse Bible Study group led by Dale and Cathey Arnold. Juanita has expressed her desire to grow in the Lord alongside this church family and to faithfully serve Him in any capacity that He leads her to do so.
Juanita came to know Jesus as her Savior when she was 16 years old through a ministry for migrant farm workers at Perrine Baptist Center in South Florida. She was baptized there too. Being a Christian has not been easy; talking it over with the Lord is essential as breathing to her. She acknowledges that without Jesus as Lord of every aspect of her life, it would be meaningless, lacking purpose.
Fifty years ago as a new Christian, she played Mary, mother of baby Jesus, in the Christmas play. Several years later, when Juanita became a mother of a son, she realized the abundant love one experiences for her child. Her appreciation of God’s unconditional love deepened. It is with utmost gratefulness that she hopes to serve Jesus in the Restoration Council.
