Hello friends,

I’m reaching out with joy to share that I’m back, feeling great, and fully engaged in our mission!

These past months have been a journey, and your support has been invaluable. Your prayers, notes, and personal stories have been an incredible source of strength and inspiration throughout this time. I’m profoundly grateful for the wonderful support system I have in all of you. It truly means more than you can imagine.

Your kindness has not only aided in my recovery but has also fortified my resolve to serve our community with even greater dedication and passion. I’ve returned to my full duties with renewed energy, including my busy travel schedule.

This experience has reinforced for me the importance of open health-related conversations and mutual support within our church family. As we move forward, I’m excited to channel this energy into our collective work, embodying Christ’s love in a world that needs it. There’s much to do, and I’m thrilled to be doing it alongside all of you.

Your continued prayers make a difference – not just for me, but for all facing challenges. Thank you for being part of this incredible community.

With a renewed spirit and heartfelt gratitude,

Julia Ayala HarrisĀ
