Yajaira Gomez
Evening Speaker
July 19 - 21
A dynamic trilingual speaker, Rev. Dr. Gomez doesn’t just teach the Word - she lives it out loud.

She is a passionate mobilizer who leads mission teams to partner with the global Church and champion orphans..

Gabriel Modesto
Evening Speaker
July 22 - 24
Gabriel Modesto, an Evangelist driven by a transformative encounter, embodies a powerful journey from darkness to light. Born through a divine revelation to his mother, he was destined to be a herald of God's message to the four corners of the earth.
Initiating his preaching fervor at just 15 in the Wesleyan Holiness church, Gabriel's spiritual calling quickly transcended borders. His international ministry has kindled revival and spread the gospel across nations like South America, Brasil, Panama, Costa Rica, and Guatemala.
Not confined to pulpit proclamations, at 19, Gabriel was honored by the Panama Government for his dedicated humanitarian efforts among indigenous communities and children.
Over the past decade, he has fervently preached and planted churches worldwide, particularly in the UK. With a vision of a profound spiritual awakening in the UK, Gabriel anticipates a generation empowered by the Holy Spirit to herald the Kingdom of Heaven. In his own words, "The heart of England will beat again, and its fire will spread throughout the nations."
Gabriel Modesto's unwavering commitment to revival and transformation marks him as a beacon of divine grace and purpose.
Marsha Wagner
Worship
July 19 - 24
For over 15 years, Marsha Wagner has faithfully led worship with a singular mission: to glorify God and guide people into life-changing encounters with Jesus Christ. Her heart beats for creating spaces where believers can experience God’s presence through His Word and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Every song is chosen with prayerful sensitivity, because worship is more than music, it’s a moment to repent, receive, and be restored by God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Marsha’s personal testimony is a powerful reminder of God’s grace. She has faced death multiple times, yet each time the Lord saved her and gave her a song to keep glorifying His name. This gift of life and music fuels her passion to lead with authenticity and humility, never forgetting that her musical talent is a gift from God to be stewarded for His glory.
Her desire is simple yet profound: to see hearts transformed, chains broken, and lives surrendered to Jesus. Through worship, Marsha seeks to cultivate an atmosphere where people don’t just sing, they encounter the living God.
