My name is Angie Torres, I have been through trials and triumphs. I found myself trapped in a domestic violence relationship, where fear held me captive, and making choices seemed impossible. However, in 2010, I summoned the courage to break free, becoming a single mother to four beautiful children.
Leaving that relationship was the hardest thing I ever did, but it was also the beginning of my path to freedom. In 2012, I found comfort in my faith and surrendered my pain to Christ. Through Him, I found stability, forgiveness, and inner healing. My journey from fear to faith transformed me in ways I never imagined possible.
Today, I see my past not as a burden but as a testimony of resilience and grace. I share my story not for sympathy but to inspire others who may be trapped in similar situations. My journey is a testament to the fact that no matter how dark the night may seem, there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow.

From my earliest moments, I felt unloved by my mother, leading to feelings of rejection, loneliness, and depression. My heart and soul were in anguish until I encountered the Lord Jesus. His love healed my soul and spirit, showing me that unconditional love exists, without judgment, and without needing to earn it – it's about accepting His love. I realized others suffer from rejection and abandonment too. That's why I joined the Seeds of Love ministry, dedicated to aiding those who feel isolated and hopeless, believing they are unloved. We strive to show them there is hope, they are not alone, and someone is waiting with open arms to transform their lives.

Hello! I'm Dee Jaffa, a devoted wife to my wonderful husband Anthony and a loving mother to my son Jax. After fourteen years as an elementary school teacher, I retired to dedicate myself to spiritual pursuits. My passion aligns with the third greatest commandment given by Jesus, as recorded in Matthew 28:16-20, which is to "go and make disciples." One of my greatest pleasures is joining my son Jax in street ministry to engage with the community and spread the Gospel's joyful message.
Currently, I have been called to serve at The Refuge at Jumper Creek, a Christ-focused family homeless shelter located in Bushnell. Additionally, I fulfill the role of Youth Minister at Mt. Olive Church in Webster and engage in events and street baptisms through Reborn Ministries. I am eager to join the Board of Directors for Seeds of Love Ocala and to carry out God's vision for this remarkable ministry. These roles hold profound significance for me as they center around Christ and provide the opportunity to talk about God throughout the day. I appreciate your interest in learning about my journey. May God bless you!

My name is Ines Oquendo, and my life has been a mix of challenges and blessings. At the age of 26, I began experiencing back problems, leading to seven surgeries. It was a difficult period, but with God's grace, I regained the ability to walk after spending a year in a wheelchair.
This ordeal sparked a passion in me to assist others with their battles. Consequently, I became a substance abuse counselor in Massachusetts. I dedicated myself daily to enriching the lives of those I helped, taking pride in their triumphs and empathizing with their difficulties.
Throughout everything, my faith has remained steadfast. Regardless of the doctors' prognoses, I am confident that God is leading me. Many are surprised by my ability to surpass medical predictions, but I attribute it to the divine love and protection I receive.
Now, as I tread a path some deem impossible, I delight in aiding others. My life's story is a tribute to the strength of perseverance and kindness, and I cherish every moment, including the pain.
