In the community of Río Piedras, Puerto Rico, Pastor Huasca and his wife began a challenging yet faithful journey. Their vision was to gather local teenagers – many from broken homes and troubled backgrounds – into a safe place where they could experience God’s love. Over time, this vision gave birth to a house of peace within the Free Methodist Church of Río Piedras.

The work was far from easy. At times, progress seemed invisible, and discouragement loomed. Yet the couple refused to give up. Their perseverance and compassion led them to try new approaches to reach the teens. One door God opened was through music. Pastor Huasca began teaching the youth to sing and play instruments. What began as simple lessons soon grew into something deeper. The teens learned discipline, commitment and a new way to express themselves.

As their musical abilities grew, so did their personal transformation. Families noticed real changes – better behavior, renewed motivation and hope. It was clear God was working in powerful ways through the love and consistency of their leaders.

The story, however, doesn’t end there. The couple’s perseverance has borne new fruit: Four families connected to these teenagers are now attending Sunday services at the church. The house of peace is no longer simply a refuge for adolescents; it has become a space for entire families to encounter God and begin a journey of discipleship.

Today, families in Río Piedras are singing a new song of faith. They are choosing to place their lives in God’s hands, trusting that He can restore what was broken. For Pastor Huasca, his wife and their church, this is only the beginning of a transformation — one that will continue to ripple through a community in need of hope.
