Ministry & Prayer
Sylvia Soler
Hello, my name is Sylvia E Soler, I was born in Manhattan NY to two wonderful parents John and Sylvia Gonzalez.
I’m the cheerful mother of two wonderful adult children Andrew and Ariel and I have two great-grandkids,
Gabby & Jayden.
I received my salvation in June 1974 in Puerto Rico. I've served in the church as a prayer intercessor, ministry leader, street ministry & evangelism, worship leader, choir member, preaching, teaching Sunday School, and as Bible Study facilitator. I now hold a Bachelor's Degree in Organizational Management from NYACK College and intend on pursuing a Master’s Degree soon.
I love Jesus and because I love Jesus my quest in life is to be an ambassador for the kingdom of God, walking and talking--sharing Jesus with whoever lends an ear.
For His glory, I am a person whose life story serves as the catalyst that draws people to Christ. In His service,
my ministry is to help the outcast, the hurting, and the unloved, and to help my church, my pastor, and leaders within the community through the gospel of Jesus Christ until He returns.
