Jesus Restores Lives in Wenatchee

By Antonio Ix Rosique, July 06, 2026

At the end of 2025, East Wenatchee Hispanic Adventist Church experienced a tremendous blessing.

The church concluded its final stage of Pentecost 2025 with a series of conferences titled "Jesus the Restorer of All," held from Dec. 10–13, 2025. David Jamieson, Upper Columbia Conference president, served as evangelist and Herendira Montalvo served as musical guest.

Over the course of the week of evangelism, East Wenatchee Hispanic Church welcomed more than 40 visitors who came to learn about Jesus and respond to His heavenly call. They experienced the transformative power of the gospel, which is the heart of the church’s mission. 

Each message delivered came with powerful invitations, leading many to make heartfelt decisions for Christ, inspired by the Holy Spirit. Additionally, as part of the children's evangelism efforts, an activity called Jesus Lives in My Heart welcomed more than 30 children. An interesting aspect of this initiative was that the children themselves encouraged their parents to arrive early for the presentations.

The week was filled with God’s presence, and the motivation within the church community was immense. As a testament to the week’s impact, two individuals, José Ríos and Deyanira Méndez, chose to be baptized. They have since become active participants in the church's community service, regularly attend worship, and are committed to tithing, reflecting their own experiences in learning to partner with Jesus.

"We were searching for a church to worship in, but instead we found a family," they shared.

Like them, many others have been touched by the restoring power of the Holy Spirit and are preparing for baptism. Through these living testimonies, the Hispanic church in Wenatchee has witnessed firsthand that Jesus is the restorer of all things.

A finales de 2025, la Iglesia Adventista Hispana de East Wenatchee experimentó una bendición tremenda.

En la última etapa del programa Pentecostés 2025, cerramos con un ciclo de conferencias titulado "Jesús el Restaurador de Todo” que se llevó a cabo del 10 al 13 de diciembre. En esta ocasión tuvimos el grato privilegio de tener como evangelista al David Jamieson, presidente de la Upper Columbia Conference. En la adoración musical, nuestra invitada especial, que vino desde Arizona, fue la Herendira Montalvo. 

Durante esa semana, registramos más de 40 visitantes que vinieron a conocer a Jesús y a aceptar el llamado del cielo para sus vidas. Ellos pudieron experimentar el poder del evangelio, que es la razón por la cual, como iglesia, enfocamos nuestra energía y nuestro servicio. 

En cada mensaje que se predicó, se hacían poderosos llamados. Las personas, con la sensibilidad que el poder del Espíritu ocasionaba, tomaban decisiones que movían sus corazones hacia Cristo. Además, como parte de los esfuerzos de evangelización infantil, una actividad llamada Jesús Vive en Mi Corazón dio la bienvenida a más de 30 niños. Un dato interesante fue la dinámica que se desarrolló, ya que eran los propios niños quienes motivaban a sus padres a llegar temprano a las conferencias. 

Fue una semana llena de poder; Dios se manifestó y la motivación de la iglesia fue muy grande. Como testimonio de esa poderosa semana, dos personas, José Ríos y Deyanira Méndez, tomaron la decisión de bautizarse. Ellos, desde ya, se están involucrando en el servicio a la comunidad que realiza la iglesia, son constantes en su asistencia y han decidido comenzar a ser fieles en la entrega del diezmo, según su propio testimonio. 

Ellos nos describen, en sus propias palabras, lo que han experimentado desde que llegaron a nuestra congregación: “Buscábamos una iglesia para congregarnos, pero no encontramos una iglesia; encontramos una familia.” 

Así como ellos, hay otras personas que fueron influenciadas por la acción restauradora del Espíritu Santo y se están preparando para ser bautizadas, y es a través de estos testimonios vivientes que la iglesia Hispana en Wenatchee pudo experimentar de primera mano que Jesús es el restaurador de todo.
