We live to impact others
"My Husband was addicted to pain pills, alcohol and other street drugs before he visited My Fathers House. Our family was broken and we were all fed up with the turmoil that he was causing us. Through a relative we got in touch with My Fathers Ministries ran by Brother Al & Sister Carmel Larrinaga, this was our last chance at restoring our family although I was at the point of divorcing him my husband had to seek help for himself and to save his family. My husband left us in 2014 and while in the program we did not speak for the first 3 months but I was corresponding with Sister Carmel and brother Al about my husband and also regarding my own struggles. They helped me through with lots of prayer and trying times during this season. I knew a change was coming but I had no idea what God had planned would change our lives forever. While arriving to My Fathers House moving my whole family from Wyoming to California was the best decision that I made, not knowing so at the time but going by faith that God was working in all our lives. I noticed an immense change in my husband, he quit smoking, his thoughts were different, he was praying and singing songs to the Lord and even though we had our problems as husband and wife God was restoring all that He had promised. It is because of The Lord God all Mighty that my family is happy and together, we are serving him everyday, and my husband is a brand new man of God. I am blessed beyond measure to have met a new family of God at My Fathers House Ministries. I learned to submit to God's will and He will fulfill the desires of our hearts. Everything comes at a cost, we sacrificed our family for Gods family and to this very day our family is still reaping the harvest. Thank God for My Fathers House, without the Lord here and His very presence our family would not be where we are today."

"All glory to God for this opportunity to share Gods work and all that he has restored in my life. Coming to My Fathers House was the best decision I made. While arriving I already new brother Al & sister Carmel but I had no idea what God was going to do. I started by receiving Gods teachings through them both 2-3 teachings a day, morning prayer, home ethics, and we sat as a family and cleaned as a family. God restored my prayer life; my relationship with my mother that was so broken I did not know could be fixed. Brother Al taught my kids how a man of God should carry himself and how to work as young men. God’s word began to transform me through our daily teachings and our open talks that we had very often. Today I am a proud mom of two teenagers whom love the Lord and without My Fathers House Ministries I don’t know where my kids or myself would have ended up. But I am blessed to see Gods word come to life everyday and to still be apart of the family of God."

"It is a great honor and privilege to share my testimony of how Jesus used two obedient vessels to change my life. Pastor Al & Carmel loved me when I didn’t love myself, cared for me when I had given up in life. Since November 2011 I have grown from being convinced to being committed. Pastor AL not only exposed me to the truth in the bible but also has saturated me with it and that is what really helps me daily."

"My Fathers house brought me so much peace, joy, and love. Brother AL and Carmel have inspired me to become a better woman and mother to my kids. I stayed at my Fathers House Ministries for a little over 2 years. I received counseling and a deeper teaching of the word. I still attend My Fathers House for fellowship and talk to Sister Carmel on a weekly basis. I gained a family and a new way living."

"Diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2016 I met Brother Al & Sister Carmel through a mutual long time friend. Right away they accepted me as family, they prayed for me, picked me up for church and even made house visits during my fight with cancer. They have been a true inspiration to me and my relationship with God has grown because of their dedication to Christ. I am blessed and so thankful to God to say that I am now in full remission because of His grace and lot’s of prayer. He has spared my life and since then I have grown stronger in God and continue to bless others with my testimony. My fathers House continues to be a light unto me and is filled with Gods love and I know that it was all God who spared my life and gave me another chance."

"In 2011 I reached an all time low in my life. My husband was taken by ICE and in another state. I had 3 small kids at the time and all I could do was drink and cause problems due to the pain I felt. I finally hit rock bottom when I decided to go for more alcohol one night, with my 1 year old son in the car with me and crashed. I went to stay with Brother Al Larrinaga and Sister Carmel and entered his rehab. My life was completely changed from that moment on. God showed me new things I did not know about myself and my life. I changed my attitude and outlook on life. I am now reunited with my husband and we now have 5 kids together."

"When I came to My Father’s House I was a broken man totally spiritually bankrupt and emotionally drained and very rigid. But through the love and through the Word of God I was shown that only Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit could set me free. My faith had been tested and my trust in the Lord God has been revealed through reconciliation with my children, with my family, my mother, and with God Almighty. Growing in the Lord has given me a freedom I have never known to have to give an account of my experience with the Holy Spirit, but through forgiveness of my sins through the Blood of Christ being shed for me I have come to know a better way of living and here at My Father’s House Ministries and through the Care and Teaching Program, I learned how to become a better man, a family oriented man of God. If you are looking for a change of life for the rest of your life be willing to be open and inquire with my Father’s House. Thank you and God bless you always."
