My wife, Erica Espinoza, is a potter by trade and the mother of five beautiful children. She is a life-long resident of Northern New Mexico. Erica had an encounter with Jesus Christ at a very young age and has seen the hand of God work miraculously at various times in her life. Erica gave her life completely to God in 2004 since which time she has endeavored to commit every moment to her relationship with Christ and to ministering the gospel through city-wide events and tent revivals as well as with her pottery. The Lord has given her a burning desire to minister to the lost in the highways and by-ways; which she does with earnest enthusiasm. When Erica is not ministering she is studying the "Word," drawing strength and inspiration from scripture, searching for creative ways to minister to and bring the body of Christ together in unity. Erica currently lives and serves the Lord in Espa ola, NM and attends Victory Faith Foursquare Church, also in Espa ola, NM. "Arise and Shine" is a series of teachings geared toward the Church and the preparation of the Bride for the days ahead and the coming of her Bridegroom, "Jesus." Each section is intended to awaken, ready, and position each believer to, "press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." We have so few days ahead of us. I pray we would awaken to the urgent days we're in, redeem the time, serve God to our fullest, and bring glory and honor to our King. "Arise and shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you." Isaiah 60:1
