"Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation."
Isaiah 12:3
Hello, and welcome to Living Water 738. My name is Paola Serna, and I am honored you are visiting this page.
At 19 years old, my life was radically transformed by the redeeming love of Jesus Christ. After a painful season marked by despair and a suicide attempt, God rescued me and began unveiling His beautifully orchestrated plan to manifest His presence in my life. His love not only saved me — it set me on a lifelong mission to share His healing, restoring power with others.
During my college years, I co-founded Latina Link, a nonprofit ministry focused on helping women discover their true identity in Christ. Later, God entrusted me with another sacred ministry: the calling of family and motherhood. Our early years of marriage were tested deeply when my husband was diagnosed with end-stage renal failure. It was a season where both his health and our marriage came under fierce attack. Yet even then, God showed me I did not have to walk in darkness or defeat or alone. I clung to the Word of God, believing every promise spoken by Jesus. Through the prayer of faithful warriors, scripture, and relentless faith, we claimed freedom and witnessed God’s miraculous deliverance.
Today, my heart burns to testify of the Jesus I have come to know — the Jesus who still heals, who still speaks, and who still reveals His glory on earth. From praying with nonbelievers to receive salvation, to helping children undergoing dialysis, to standing in faith for the healing of children with cancer, I have seen the hand of God move mightily.
Our mission is simple: to make Jesus known, to see lives transformed, and to awaken hearts to the reality of His powerful presence.
With love,
Paola Serna
