that God is our father, Jesus is the son of God and our redeemer, we believe that the bible is the word of God given to us, we believe in the Holy Spirit and in Jesus&#8217;s Great Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Vision &amp; Mission is simple!  Connect families to Jesus and to go and make disciples. Baptizing and teaching them what Jesus has said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is how it all began:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-yellow-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\">In 2008, on a Monday afternoon, our pastor Miguel got into a car accident, with no way to move the vehicle, he had to leave it on the road. On the next day, he went to check on the car and to his surprise, he found the car surrounded by many kids, he asked them, why are you here? they said that they were there to care and protect the car. He then ask them to hold hands and pray together, and they did! God opened an opportunity to share his love and grace with them. On that very same day, they all convene to gather, on the same spot, every Monday. And so, they did, then their parents joined, then more families and friends joined&#8230; Quickly the love and grace of god spread through the city, impacting families and changing lives! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TF Connection Church (Ministerios Tierra F\u00e9rtil) was born there, on a small neighborhood of Dominican Republic, were God had decided to meet us and  forever change our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pastors Miguel and Marielena Mercedes, since then, have been working together to spread the love of God and the good news of the gospel to everyone that Jesus put in their path. Reconciling God&#8217;s children one at a time.  <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=afi9R2teppM\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/tfconnectionchurch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/4-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tfconnectionchurch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/4-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/tfconnectionchurch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/4-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/tfconnectionchurch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/4-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/tfconnectionchurch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/4-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/tfconnectionchurch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/4-24x14.png 24w, https:\/\/tfconnectionchurch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/4-36x20.png 36w, https:\/\/tfconnectionchurch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/4-48x27.png 48w, https:\/\/tfconnectionchurch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/4.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em><sup>&nbsp;<\/sup>Therefore, as you go, disciple people in all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit,&nbsp;<sup>20&nbsp;<\/sup>teaching them to obey everything that I\u2019ve commanded you.
