Artist Statement

While the world is going through rough times, Valentina has the task to find a way to show that God is with us and that we all have the faith of a warrior inside us, but before she shows the world, she must start with her friend.

How it fits into contest

Ephesians says, the struggle of human beings is not of flesh and blood, our struggle as human beings is with that which we cannot see, that, that attacks us and attacks those we love, Satan would never want to see us saved, he just want us to go through bad ways.

We all have a purpose, we are all warriors in God's eyes, we all have salvation in our hands. The best way to create God's army is to start with our family, with those that we love and those who have lost the faith in God. Through her prayer, our main character Valentina asks God for the answer to help her friend with a broken faith, Valentina with the gift of prayer and the use of the correct word; she helps her friend to restore her faith in God with her faithful testimony that we all are become God's warriors.
