Wilfredo De Jesús Featured on Cover of Time Magazine
"No one is too lost, too evil, too wounded or too hopeless. No one is beyond the transforming power of God's love. When we let Him, God fills our hearts with His love, strength, and purpose and we become complete." -Pastor Wilfredo De Jes?s

Raised in a dysfunctional home with no father figure, surrounded by gangs and drugs and struggling in school, De Jes?s says, that still, "God in His infinite wisdom chose my life [to preach the Gospel]."
As reported by Charisma News, because of De Jes?s' background, today New Life Covenant Ministries reach the most destitute in their communities. (Photo: Time magazine)
"These ministries connect with broken people," says De(remove extra space )Jes?s. "It's only right that where God took me out of, I would go back to...I am compelled, provoked by the Holy Spirit, to minister to 'the least of these.'"
As a leader within the larger Hispanic community, De Jes?s sees great hope in the Church working together for the common good in this country. "You've now got a lot of clergymen, Hispanics, who are trying to fight for the institution of family, marriage, etc. I think the Church should lock arms with our Hispanic brothers and sisters and live out the Gospel."
